lyrics

There’s a bird at my window looking in, whistling a silly little song with a foolish grin. I’m looking out, feeling like I’ve got nothing to sing about.

The sun’s coming up on the steeple across the street. There’s a silver cross glowing up in the air about fifty feet. I’m looking out, feeling like I’ve got nothing to sing about.

I’m watching the day go by, the same way I did yesterday. Like a bird, like a steeple, you’ve got no use for people when you live this high.

At a busy bar on a brilliant day, I’ve got a table just for one. The river’s high with melted ice. The winter’s on the run. The streets are flooded with people on their way to some parade. I’ve got nothing to say to anyone, what could I have to celebrate?

I’m watching the day go by, the same way I did yesterday. Like a bird, like a steeple, you’ve got no use for people when you live this high.

The banks are calling - they want to hang me up. My baby’s been sipping at an empty cup. I’ve made so much effort not to work to hard, went to such great lengths no to go to far. I made so much smoke I couldn’t find the fire.

I’m watching the day go by, the same way I did yesterday. Like a bird, like a steeple, you’ve got no use for people when you live this high.
