the bird man - highwaymen lyrics

Loading...

(narrative by burt lancaster):
i sit in my cell and i stare at the floor
the walls, the ceiling, the bars on the door

(highwaymen):
and at times he can hear far away, far away
the song from a bird from an old yesterday
a bird that he found unable to fly
alone in the cold almost ready to die

(narrative by burt lancaster):
i’m a man who once killed
a man who must dwell for the rest of my life
all alone in this cell

(highwaymen):
a poor little bird he took back to his cell
and held it and nourished it until it was well

(narrative by burt lancaster):
for the rest of my life there’ll be six iron bars
six iron bars between me and the stars

(highwaymen):
but the poor little bird didn’t know it could fly
and much too afraid, too fearful to try
then the bird grew strength from a man who was strong
and soon spread it’s wings and it burst into song

(narrative by burt lancaster):
i sit in my cell & i stare at the floor
the walls, the celing and the bars on the door

(highwaymen):
and at times he can hear far away far away
the song from a bird from an old yesterday
and at times he can hear far away far away
the song from a bird from an old yesterday
