Birds
Greg Connor
Inspired by a gift from my Cousin Danita, a bird whistle.
I open my eyes to the first morning’s light
The Birds sing outside my window
And the stars are all gone from the previous night
They left when I heard the wind blow
.
I notice the morning is as fresh as can be
I hear the birds sing their melodies
It’s time to wake up and get out of bed
But I take a moment to listen instead
.
Sit down to breakfast there’s so much to do
But I never hurry just sit here and chew
My mind tends to wander all over the place
While the birds keep singing the songs I embrace
.
The rhythm of life is a sweet old song
That plays in the background as time goes along
It’s my good fortune I’m able to hear
The birds as they sing out loud and clear
The birds as they sing out loud and clear
So, bright and clear...and, here in Cowtown, chilly. Good hearing your voice again.
I haven't been on Alonetone much lately. Nice to drop in here and hear one of your songs though :)
What a delightful and peaceful song! I can picture you enjoying a quiet morning there in your pretty spot. And love the hint of the whistle at the end! Or was that a real bird?
Blue ribbon.......I love how you created this song from the warble bird whistle 💙. It truly does sound like the birds singing out loud. You have a true gift of story telling with your lyrics and music. This song truly is a day brightener.
