This song, like them all, came right out of the blue...
Lyrics
BLUE BIRD (2007) (words/music: B. Walter) When I woke up I was drifting somewhere out to sea When I heard my little blue bird sing her song for me I memorized the melody and wrote down every word and tucked it in my pocket and thanked that little bird Like a pirate on the ocean I go pillaging for gold My quest - the distant sunset will bring booty I’ve been told My eye on the horizon and the stern wheel in my hand My blue bird sings of riches and her song is my command CHORUS I have a little blue bird who lives inside my head She fills my heart with music and I only keep her fed I set her free to see the world but she’s never gone for long “til she’s perched there on the yard arm and offers me her song To err they say is human And I’ve both feet on the ground But to Arr, they say is pirate when mercy can be found In my mind I dream of flying with the Dutchman at the wheel The wind below my feathers just another song to steel CHORUS Now pirates dream of treasure and they temp the stormy sea And revel when the winds are calm no, really not like me For I have found my treasure I am a millionaire And I live the songs my blue bird sings and her life is my affair CHORUS
