That Bird - The Teskey Brothers

Oh, people they can be so unkind

If they’re not happy

If they can’t speak their mind

But unwind the needle just to find

One more line, one more line

Oh, people they got something to say

They can be carried or be carried away

But it takes bricks and mortar

Hmm, to speak your mind

So keep puttin' 'em down, put 'em down

That bird had a song to sing

Something to say

Is it still here

Or has it flown away?

Oh, this morning

It had something to say

Is it still here

Or has it flown away?

Mm

Well, it reminds of a time

Where my memories fade

Thoughts ain’t sharp

Unless they’re laid

But if I can’t remember

Will I feel it again?

All I need’s a piece of paper and pen

But you can take a photograph

Or you can just be there

Oh, do you need to remember

Or can you just be there?

If I kept my promise

Would we still be friends?

If I remember

oh, will I feel it again?

Yeah, that bird had a song to sing

Something to say

Is it still here

Or has it flown away?

Oh, this morning

It had something to say

Is it still here

Or has it flown away?

Mm-hmm

Sometimes I question and I wonder

Why I just can’t say?

Anger can take your mind

Until it’s carried away

But it’s just not fair

It don’t make no sense

But I wrote it down

I wrote it down
