That Bird – The Teskey Brothers

Oh, people they can be so unkind
If they’re not happy
If they can’t speak their mind
But unwind the needle just to find
One more line, one more line

Oh, people they got something to say
They can be carried or be carried away
But it takes bricks and mortar
Hmm, to speak your mind
So keep puttin’ ’em down, put ’em down

That bird had a song to sing
Something to say
Is it still here
Or has it flown away?
Oh, this morning
It had something to say
Is it still here
Or has it flown away? Mm

Well, it reminds of a time
Where my memories fade
Thoughts ain’t sharp
Unless they’re laid
But if I can’t remember
Will I feel it again?
All I need’s a piece of paper and pen

But you can take a photograph
Or you can just be there
Oh, do you need to remember
Or can you just be there?
If I kept my promise
Would we still be friends?
If I remember
oh, will I feel it again?

Yeah, that bird had a song to sing
Something to say
Is it still here
Or has it flown away?
Oh, this morning
It had something to say
Is it still here
Or has it flown away? Mm-hmm

Sometimes I question and I wonder
Why I just can’t say?
Anger can take your mind
Until it’s carried away
But it’s just not fair
It don’t make no sense
But I wrote it down
I wrote it down
