The Yellow-Billed Cuckoo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yellow-billed cuckoo sittin' on that fence Looking both ways like he don't have no sense Sense of direction and sense of trust But he knows somethin' in this land of dust [Verse 2] And I sat lookin' in her deep blue eyes At her dark black hair and her little white lies Lies of contrition and lies of deceit Lyin' to herself and lyin' to me [Chorus] Has he heard you singin' that waverin' song That don't know the difference 'tween right or wrong? Has he heard you wishin' that you were free Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me? [Verse 3] A distant storm lightening up the sky Frightening the horses that are ready to ride Leaves on the trees turnin' inside-out Gonna break loose, no shadow of doubt [Chorus] Has he heard you singin' that waverin' song That don't know the difference 'tween right or wrong? Has he heard you wishin' that you were free Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me? [Verse 4] Wildflowers bloom on a little bit of rain A little bit of hope on a desolate plain Wildflowers wither underneath the strain Of the wildfire burnin' up another man's name [Chorus] Has he heard you singin' that waverin' song That don't know the difference 'tween right or wrong? Has he heard you wishin' that you were free Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me? Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me?
