Little Bird

If I had a bird, a little bird I would teach that bird to sing your name Prettiest song that you have ever heard And your indifferent heart I will claim So be off, my little bird Fly away, fly away And when my love you see Only then, my little bird Cry away, cry away, and bring that heart to me If I had a moon in the sky I would light the world and pull the tide And when the moon is full like my heart It will surely pull you to my side But in the darkest night I pine away Pine away until your face I see So throw your light, my lovely moon Shine away, shine away, and pull his heart to me If I had a wagon made of gold Pretty painted horses numbered four With a silver harness I would hitch them up And drive that wagon to your door And if my hand you choose to hold Ride away, ride away with the pretty horses four But, darlin', if you heart's still cold Hide away, hide away till trouble you no more Trouble you no more --- Little Bird - Emmylou Harris
