From the recording Blue Moon Bird
Lyrics
Blue moon bird
Blue moon bird
Blue moon bird
Moon bird
Moon bird
Moon bird
He stays forever young
Away in the big unknown
Reaching after him
I can’t catch
Can’t catch a blue moon bird
Now he’s back
In the moonlight
Like a promise on silver wings
I know he loves me so
At the turn of the clock
When the sun comes up
I can’t catch
Can’t catch a blue moon bird
How can I learn to fly
In gardens of green and blue
How do I learn to fly
Who do I turn to
How can anybody know you
Until the hands of time give in
I reflect upon what might have been
Lilies and columbines
Whispering to my blue moon bird
Beautiful bird
You're too, too damn swiftly flown away
My blue moon bird
Beautiful bird
Too swiftly, too swiftly flown away
My blue moon bird
Beautiful
Too damn swiftly flown away
My blue moon bird
