Bluebird

Good morning bluebird
Good morning cottonwood
Out the window, I see
All that I'll ever need
All that I'll ever need

Young men come in from town
Live and fighting in a crowd

If you fear loneliness
That fear will burn you down
That fear will burn you down

And I, I'm not afraid
To lie down in my grave
Be any day now
Any day

We are always alone
Until death brings us home

So good morning, cottonwood
And again good morning, bluebird
Good morning, buebird

And I, I'm not afraid
To lie down in my grave
Be any day now
Any day
Any day
