High Flying Bird Songtext
von We Five

There′s a high flyin' bird
Way up in the sky
And I wonder does he look down
As he flies on by
Ridin′ on the air so easy
In the sky

But Lord look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
I got the sit down, can't cry
Oh Lord I′m gonna die blues

Well the sun comes along
It lights up the day
And when he gets tired he slides down
All of the way
Well it′s east to the west
He gets gone every day


But Lord look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
I got the sit down, can′t cry
Oh Lord I'm gonna die blues

Well I had a man
And he lived in a mine
Well he never saw the sun
But Lord he never stopped tryin′
Then one day my man up and died
I said my man up and died
Oh my man up and died
Well he wanted to fly
And the only way to fly was to die

There's a high flyin′ bird
Way up in the sky
And I wonder does he look down
As he flies on by
Ridin' on the air so easy
In the sky

But Lord look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
I got the sit down, can′t cry
Oh Lord I′m gonna die blues


But Lord look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
I got the sit down, can′t cry
Oh Lord I'm gonna die blues
