Little Bird - Michael Martin Murphey, Kelly Willis, Bruce Robison

Little bird come sit upon my window sill

Sat there through the falling rain

As I watched that bird upon my window sill

I saw my thoughts of you go by again

And the picture of my face reflected on the pane

Is it tears I see or is it rain?

I remember how we talked before we said goodbye;

Too young to know the world outside our door

And now the miles of time have built a wall my love

And though I try I just can’t tear it down

No regrets about the past;

there’s nothing I can change

Oh, life’s a road we walk just one way down

And looking back I do recall that frame of time

When the world was love and time was just a thought

Many things go many ways.

Your force of life is such

We all must pick that road of life to walk

And age gives off old memories like hand-notes in a log

Where the world is time and love is just a thought

As my thoughts go tumbling back I wonder how you look

I wonder if you’ve seen that little bird

I wonder if he sat upon your window sill

I wonder if you’ll ever hear these words
