Lyrics
Red bird right outside my window
Wanting me to start another day
Red bird right outside my window
Red bird will up and fly away
Leave me to a world of darkness
Leave me to a world of night
See, I was made for bound and determined
You were made for thin air and flight
I was made to mix the sand and gravel
I was made to take more than I need
And you were made to dance among the branches
You were made to seek the fallen seed
Leave me myself I need no cheerin'
Leave me the ties that we both know
I'll toil and I'll scratch out in the clearing
And I'll have more time to see you in the fallen snow
And there among the snow you will be lovely
And it'll be you who is scratching on the land
In my coat a flask of irish whiskey
Waving green back dollars in my hand
Yeah
Red bird right outside my window
She's telling me me to start another day
Red bird right outside my window
Red bird will up and fly away
Red bird will up and fly away
Red bird will up and fly away
