Carp 18 Lyrics

Early Bird
  by Joe Fahey
 

you came in from the sky with those peripheral eyes
and a conversation or two
orange & pink are the colors that you see when you fly
while the rest of settle for blue

early bird don't you fly away
there's so many people who want you to stay
early bird don't you fly so soon
you got so much to do here and there's plenty of room
don't you fly so soon

near the field where you nest there's a spot you like best
and I'll try to carry it on
as long as there's air, I'll always be there
that's where you and I will get along

early bird don't you fly away
there's so many people who want you to stay
early bird don't you fly so soon
you got so much to do here and there's plenty of room
don't you fly so soon

and when you think you've had enough to see
make another round
'cos you know you're not coming back to me
coming back to me

I can already feel the effect on the wheel
I can sense that you're gone
as long as there's air, you'll always be there
that's where you and I will get along

early bird don't you fly away
there's so many people who want you to stay
early bird don't you fly so soon
you got so much to do here and there's plenty of room
don't you fly so soon

don't you fly so soon
don't you fly so soon
don't you fly so soon
