Bird
Time Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blue bird fly away
Little blue bird fly
Back to California
Where the sun shines on ya
Butterflies on your trail behind
Rivers glitter from the mountainside
And that's where you belong
Sing, sing your song

Little blue bird
It's time to fly away

The ticking of the clock has a way of fading
It's only miles
But I'm just saying
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you, girl
And it's okay if we break down from time to time
When a piece of your heart has been left behind
And if I said I didn't love you, then I'd be lying
But that's where you belong
Sing, sing your song
Little blue bird
It's time to fly away

Blue bird fly away
Little blue bird fly
Back to California
Where the sun shines on ya
That's where you belong

That's where you belong, my love
Now fly away, now fly, fly
