Beautiful Bird
Scott Martin ©2016

Seems like not so long ago
As a midnight candle glowed
In this mysterious new land
I held you in my hand

How’d the years go by so fast
Ain’t no way to make ’em last
If I could cheat or steal or buy them back
For you I would

And I’d sing low, soft and sweet
Until you lay there fast asleep
And I’d lay beside you and listen to you breathe

At the end of summer’s days
On a mountaintop you waited
For the Super Moon to light the land
Until you held it in your hand

And the vault of heav’n rose steep
Until you lay there fast asleep
And a spiral band marched round you
As you breathed

Dream your own dream
Beautiful bird, go fly away
Stone upon stones
Can’t stop the love that carries you away

Tears are falling as she waves
It’s gonna be a brand new day
And when we hear the news you’ve landed
I hold her in my hands

And I’ll sing low, soft and sweet
Until she lays there fast asleep
And I’ll lay beside her and listen to her breathe

Dream your own dream
Beautiful bird, go fly away
Stone upon stones
Can’t stop the love that carries you away

Dream your own dream
Oh my sweet bird, go fly away
Stone upon stones
Can’t stop the love that carries you away
