The Fire-Tree Bird

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wandering through the living desert seeking a limb That I could rest my head upon and let my thoughts begin I've never seen another feather before so elaborately patterned My senses were shattered to the floor [Verse 2] I asked it what its name was and it answered with ease As it swung itself in rhythm through a crack in the breeze But did it understand my reason for crying When it shot through a hole in the sky? [Chorus] And haven't you heard, the Fire-Tree Bird Is leaving today? (What did you say?) He's losing his mind and leaving behind A fiery world (It's so absurd) And if you prefer the Fire-Tree Bird Was only a part of your mind Seek and maybe you'll find yet another one (Make no mistake for Fire-Tree's sake) [Verse 3] Searching to the end of every rope in the stars But it didn't leave a note or send a heavenly card I read the patterns apprehending the wall Was I searching for feathers on the fall? [Chorus] And haven't you heard' the Fire-Tree Bird Is leaving today? (What did you say?) He's losing his mind and leaving behind A fiery world (It's so absurd) And if you prefer the Fire-Tree Bird Was only a part of your mind Seek and maybe you'll find yet another one (Make no mistake for sanity's sake) [Bridge] Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la Ah Ooh [Outro] The Fire-Tree Bird is a merry old bird Is a merry old bird is... The Fire-Tree Bird is a merry old bird Is a merry old bird is... The Fire-Tree Bird is a merry old bird (Oh my why) Is a merry old bird is... (Have you heard?) The Fire-Tree Bird is a merry old bird (Fire-Tree Bird) Is a merry old bird is... (Fire-Tree Bird) The Fire-Tree Bird is a merry old bird (Oh my why) Is a merry old bird is... (Have you heard?) The Fire-Tree Bird is a merry old bird (Fire-Tree Bird) Is a merry old bird is... (Fire-Tree Bird) The Fire-Tree Bird is a merry old bird (Oh my why) Is a merry old bird is... (Have you heard?) (Fire-Tree Bird) (Fire-Tree Bird) And haven't you heard the Fire-Tree Bird And haven't you heard the Fire-Tree Bird And haven't you heard the Fire-Tree Bird
