Red Bird Dream Lyrics

There was a red bird that flew right through the window

A shard of glass pierced its beak, it just lay

Barely breathing on the window ledge a full day

Of sunlight till the night meticulously removed

By lonely hands set free to the cold rainy night

Avoided just barely by cats yet able to

Flutter on damaged wings like drunken butterflies

From off in the distance they came

One by one

Brothers and sisters

To the rescue

As if with some innate inborn knowledge came on cue

Surely a creature as beautiful as this

Would take care of its own kind

Gracefully, faithfully

Dancing in circles weave together a new wing

So naturally no effort floating and spinning

Until carried away now and forever free

Carried away forever free

Like a worm would make silk

Like a spider spinning her web

Surely a creature as beautiful as this

Would take care of its own, in everlasting bliss

Surely a creature as beautiful as this

Would take care of its own kind
