Little Birdy Lyrics - Kristin Hersh

Little birdy, little birdy 

What makes you fly so high? 

It's because I am a birdy 

And I'm not afraid to die 

Little birdy, little birdy 

Come sing me your song 

I've a short time to be here with you 

And a long time, to be gone 

Little birdy, little birdy 

What makes your wing so blue? 

It's because I've been a-grievin' 

Grievin' after you 

Little birdy, little birdy 

Come sing me your song 

I've a short time to be here with you 

And a long time, to be gone 

Little birdy, little birdy 

What makes your head so red? 

After all that I have been through 

It's a wonder I ain't dead 

Little birdy, little birdy 

Come sing me your song 

I've a short time to be here with you 

And a long time, to be gone
