Little Bird 1968 by Jerry Jeff Walker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little bird come and sat upon my window sill
Sat there thru the fallin' rain
As I watched that little bird upon my window sill
Saw my thoughts of you go by again
[Chorus]
And a picture of my face
Reflected on the pane
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
[Verse 2]
I remember how we talked before we said goodbye
Too young to notice this world outside our door
And now the miles of time have built a wall of love
Though I try I just can't tear it down
[Verse 3]
For I said that love takes many shapes, it has no form
Has no boundaries, has not grips to hold
But time will take the foolish hand [?] pain
Make the heart look back with eyes grown cold
[Chorus]
And the picture of my face
Reflected on the pane
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
[Verse 4]
I've no regrets about the past, there's nothing I can change
Life's a road you walk just one way down
Looking back, I do recall that frame of time
When the world was love and time was just a thought
[Verse 5]
Many things go many ways, your course of life is such
We almost picked that road of life to walk
And age gives off old memories like handnotes [in love?]
Where the world is time and that love is just a thought
[Chorus]
And the picture of my face
Reflected on the pane
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
[Verse 6]
As my thoughts go tumblin' back I wonder how you look
I wonder if you've seen that little bird
I wonder if he's sat upon your window sill
I wonder if you'll ever hear these words
[Chorus]
And the picture of my face
Reflected on the pane
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
Little bird come and sat upon my window sill
Sat there thru the fallin' rain
As I watched that little bird upon my window sill
Saw my thoughts of you go by again
[Chorus]
And a picture of my face
Reflected on the pane
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
[Verse 2]
I remember how we talked before we said goodbye
Too young to notice this world outside our door
And now the miles of time have built a wall of love
Though I try I just can't tear it down
[Verse 3]
For I said that love takes many shapes, it has no form
Has no boundaries, has not grips to hold
But time will take the foolish hand [?] pain
Make the heart look back with eyes grown cold
[Chorus]
And the picture of my face
Reflected on the pane
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
[Verse 4]
I've no regrets about the past, there's nothing I can change
Life's a road you walk just one way down
Looking back, I do recall that frame of time
When the world was love and time was just a thought
[Verse 5]
Many things go many ways, your course of life is such
We almost picked that road of life to walk
And age gives off old memories like handnotes [in love?]
Where the world is time and that love is just a thought
[Chorus]
And the picture of my face
Reflected on the pane
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
[Verse 6]
As my thoughts go tumblin' back I wonder how you look
I wonder if you've seen that little bird
I wonder if he's sat upon your window sill
I wonder if you'll ever hear these words
[Chorus]
And the picture of my face
Reflected on the pane
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
