one little bird - rodney crowell lyrics

[verse 1]
when i was a child, an inch was a mile
each passing day felt like a year
and now i’m here where time is fleet
it’s short but sweet and that seems fair

[verse 2]
along the way, i’d have to say
i caused some hurt that i can’t mend
and to that end, i came up short
if i were smart, i’d have left it right there

[chorus]
there’s this one little bird in the trees outside my door
and she’s singing a song that goes right to the core
she says where will you go? where will you be?
why don’t you know? why can’t you see it’s almost over?

[bridge]
i’ve seen the еnd of a rainbow
through a greyhound window
blue northern lights ‘cross a prairiе sky
but when a drink of cool water
from a dried*up mountain spring
says as much about anything
as the fifth of july
you need to ask yourself why
[verse 3]
the name is crowell, no harm no foul
unless of course, i’ve been unkind
with that in mind, i’ll rest my case
your axe to grind is my saving grace
and i’ve been put in my place

[chorus]
by this one little bird in all the trees outside my door
and she’s singing a song that goes right to the core
she says where will you go? where will you be?
why don’t you know? why can’t you see it’s almost over?
