She dips her toes in the cool blue water
Like an ibis, she moves with grace
Morning light on her hair shines silver
She says, "The pool, its makes this place"
She says, "In Boston I was a dancer
And Richard always brought flowers, so sweet
I kept his ring but I left those winters
Still too much life inside of me"
The birds of Florida
They come from near and far
The birds of Florida
They come by train, by car
They bring bright colored hearts
To make another start
Under the sun
He says, "It's fact and it's not opinion
Not everybody looks good in pink"
He says, "There's some of us born flamingos
The few but proud, I like to think"
"It wasn't easy in Kansas City
They treat you like you're doing something wrong
I'll always miss that big house and garden
But here I feel like I belong"
The painted buntings blue and green
And all the purple gallinules
They carry sorrows on their wings
And hopes inside their eyes
Like jewels
The birds of Florida
There's more come every day
The birds of Florida
And each in their own way
They bring bright colored hearts
To make another start
Under the sun
