Red Bird Lyrics

Saw a red bird, flying through the night

Thought I'd ask him, why you taking flight

Where are you going, can I follow too

Kind of lost my way, maybe you can see me through

He looked at me, with those deep, dark eyes

Said, only speak to heroes and gods and you don't look

Like either kind (oh, no)

I said, red bird, know I'm a sinner

Don't have much to offer, never been a winner

But can you steer me through the night

Be mighty grateful, try to make it right

He turned and said, you got nothin' to offer me

I'm a red, red bird, I can do

As I please (yes, I can)

Red, red bird, don't treat me this way

Can't you stop for awhile, not asking you to stay

Lost my direction, lost the one I love

Not asking for too much, know you can see it all from above

(well, well, well)

Getting darker now, can't find my way

Can you point me to the path, I should take

Wherever you're going, can I follow you

Can you guide me, see me through

He looked at me, with those deep, dark eyes

Said, you're on your own my friend, I'm a red bird

I just fly . . . I just fly away

Red bird, don't fly away

Red bird, don't fly away

(no, no, no)
