Bird Feeder Blues
The birds in the morning
They all seem to know my name
The birds in the morning
They all seem to know my name
I got everything I want,
'cept the one thing that can keep me sane
She sleeps like a baby
But she eats just like a mouse
She's a skinny-leg woman
But she thinks she's as big as a house
She's got leaves in her eavestroughs
To keep the tears from tumbling out
I'm a three-legged cat
Knocking on a robin's door
I could stay here all day
If I could just find one reason more
I got everything I want
'cept the one thing that can keep me pure
I'm so sick of my ego
I'm gonna try to rise above
I'm gonna listen to my heart
But you know you are the one that it loves
Without you here, you know
I'm just an old box of left-handed gloves
Won't you come back, darling, you know
I'd gladly accept all of the blame
Come back sweet mama
I'll cut through the sadness and the shame
While I'm here waiting,
I'm gonna teach all the birdies your name
(Nashville Warbler call)
They all seem to know my name
The birds in the morning
They all seem to know my name
I got everything I want,
'cept the one thing that can keep me sane
She sleeps like a baby
But she eats just like a mouse
She's a skinny-leg woman
But she thinks she's as big as a house
She's got leaves in her eavestroughs
To keep the tears from tumbling out
I'm a three-legged cat
Knocking on a robin's door
I could stay here all day
If I could just find one reason more
I got everything I want
'cept the one thing that can keep me pure
I'm so sick of my ego
I'm gonna try to rise above
I'm gonna listen to my heart
But you know you are the one that it loves
Without you here, you know
I'm just an old box of left-handed gloves
Won't you come back, darling, you know
I'd gladly accept all of the blame
Come back sweet mama
I'll cut through the sadness and the shame
While I'm here waiting,
I'm gonna teach all the birdies your name
(Nashville Warbler call)
