Pretty Bird

I wrote this song for the girl that I love

She is locked away forever in the tower above

And I’ve got a lot of nothing, but I hope it’s enough

For my pretty bird to never fly away

Shooting stars, wishes, glow in the dark

She’s got bubblegum and glue when things are falling apart

And she’s always safe and happy on a farm in my heart

Where my pretty bird will never fly away

Passing time like water flows

People come and people go

Through the circle fast and slow

People come and people go

She tells me life should be simple and free

And you’ve gotta’ try and be the change that you wanna’ see

‘Cause you’ll never grow a flower if you don’t plant a seed

Please, my pretty bird, don’t ever fly away

So, when your worries are dragging you down

Try and breathe a little here and there and live in the now

If you have a little patience everything will work out

And your pretty bird will never fly away
