Bluebird
Dawn Landes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bluebird, blue
Flew by caught my eye and I fell in love with blue
Don't know what to do
Sweet song lead me on I just wanna follow you
Oh, blue

Walk down to the edge of the wood
I know I shouldn't go but it makes me feel so good
Tall leaves cover me in a hood
and you sing to me da-dee-dee-dee
Oh I feel so understood

Fall in so deep to a warm summer sleep
Caught in a rhyme losing track of the time
No direction to divine

Bluebird, blue
Stay here I know you're near I just wanna be with you
Don't know what to do
Your song's sweet, I forget my feet
Won't you let me dance with you?
Oh, blue

Take in your flight
on a warm summer night
fly back to me, I'll forget every need
Just a tangle in the weeds

Bluebird, blue




Flew by caught my eye and I fell in love with blue
Oh, blue
