This Little Bird

This Little Bird - Marianne Faithfull

Written by：John D. Loudermilk

There's a little bird that somebody sends

Down to the earth to live on the wind

Borne on the wind and he sleeps on the wind

This little bird that somebody sends

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue

So thin and graceful the sun shines through

This little bird who lives on the wind

This little bird that somebody sends

He flies so high up in the sky

Out of reach of human eye

And the only time that he touches the ground

Is when that little bird

Is when that little bird

Is when that little bird dies
