Little Bird

That night in Kerry County had a mind of its own

There was a storm in the sea with a name

We laugh till we yelled as we ran to the pubs

As if somehow it could stop the rain

You were hard to find

A different kind that I'd never knew

There's a thousand ways

That I could say how much I loved you

But I lost the words

You flew off like a little bird

So head east outside the city

You know my love, it runs deep in those parts

You came here to say you were leaving

Babe, I'd say it's leaving that got you this far

'Cause you were hard to find

A different kind I'd never knew

There's a thousand ways

That I could say how much I loved you

But I lost the words

I still hear your songs, you little bird

As long as people sing songs, the stories live on

And ours had highs and lows, but it's real

And I'll be right here

While you look for answers alone

Go find the life that you've made in your mind

Tell the truth, I'll probably find a ditch on the road to Damascus

Babe, I'd be lying to say I'll be fine

You were hard to find

A different kind, I'd never knew

There's a thousand ways

I could say how much I loved you

I lost the words

And now they're just a tattoo of a little bird
