lyrics

bird (on my shoulder)

i have a bird on my shoulder
wherever i go
i have a bird on my shoulder
wherever i go
it cheers me up
when my spirit is low

there's a dog on my porch
that acts like a cat
there's a dog on my porch
that acts like a cat
it won't follow orders
but it sleeps in my bed

and if you wanna see me
you have to follow the road
and then get distracted
and then you're old
but all the beauty
that runs through your eyes
will make you look weary
will make you look wise

there's a place in my heart
where i never go
there's a place in my heart
where i never go
it’s a dark place
and i don't know what it shows

i can make you a coffee
i can pour you a drink
and you may sit down
and tell me what you think
cause i like to listen
and i like the words
they fly all around me
like insects or birds

and if you wanna see me...
