Lady Bird
Virgil Warner 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
In Virgil Warner's song Lady Bird, the lyrics depict a tale of a woman (referred to as 'Lady Bird') who has been on an adventure with an eagle, soaring through autumn skies. She recalls how she touched the moon, kissed the sun and how the eagle abandoned her too soon. The song shifts to a plea, with Lady Bird being called to come on down from the sky, and promising to be treated well if she does. The lyrics reveal that Lady Bird was taught to fly by the eagle, however, he let her down quickly, leaving her feeling abandoned. The woman reminisces on how the memories of their time together will stay with her, as she awaits her eagle's return.
The song uses beautiful imagery and symbolism to depict the short-lived, yet powerful connection between Lady Bird and the eagle. The lyrics suggest that the eagle is a representation of freedom, which Lady Bird was able to experience, but also a reminder that freedom can be fleeting. Lady Bird's desire to come back to the ground and be treated well by her partner can be interpreted as a longing for stability and safety, which she lacked while soaring with the eagle.
