Lady Bird
Suzi Jane Hokom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rode his wings 'cross autumn skies
Kissed the sun, touched the moon
But he left me much too soon
His lady bird
He left his lady bird
Lady bird come on down
Lady bird I'll treat you good
Aw, lady bird I wish you would
You lady bird
Pretty lady bird
Lightning flashed across the sky
The night he taught me how to fly
The sun came up and then I found
Too soon he let his lady down
His lady bird
I'm his lady bird
Lady bird come on down
I'm here waiting on the ground
Lady bird I'll treat you good
Aw, lady bird I wish you would
You lady bird
Pretty lady bird
Winter lives in my heart
In the times we're apart
Summer sings a song or two
When he says "I love you true"
My lady bird
Yeah, I'm his lady bird
Lady bird come on down
I'm here waiting on the ground
Lady bird I'll treat you good
Aw, lady bird I wish you would
You lady bird
Pretty lady bird (I'm your lady bird)
You're a lady bird (Yes, I'm a lady bird)
You're too much you little bird
The song "Lady Bird" by Suzi Jane Hokom tells the story of a woman who was with a man who left her too soon. She describes how she has experienced some of the most beautiful and majestic things in life, flying with the eagle across the autumn skies, touching the moon and kissing the sun, but her man, who was like an eagle, left her too soon. She longs for Lady Bird to come down and be with her, to treat her right, and to be her pretty lady bird. The song is essentially a love ballad about a woman's longing for a man who left her and she is waiting for him to return.
Throughout the song, there are allusions to flying, the sky, and nature, which are significant because they symbolize freedom and escaping from reality. The woman feels close to nature because she was able to fly with the eagle and escape into different worlds with him. However, the freedom she experienced was short-lived, and reality set in when her man left her.
Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of how beautiful love can be and how easily it can slip away. It is a moving tribute to a woman's love for her man, which is enduring even in his absence.
