My bluebird, my blue bird can fly as far as I can see
My bluebird has everything I need
My bluebird, my bluebird knows my deepest desires,
My bluebird, my bluebird will catch me just before the fire.

I'm down on the river baby, but I'm stuck on the other side love,
From a rope my heart is hanging, water rises on a lonely soul,

My bluebird, my bluebird wing can fly above it all,
My bluebird will help me stand and be strong,
My bluebird, my bluebird will never beg upon a knee,
My bluebird, my bluebird knows I need to believe

I'm down on the river baby, but I'm stuck on the other side love,
From a rope my heart is hanging, water rises on a lonely soul,
And I'll take my chances breathing, ain't never gonna hold my breath,
Because I know if I stay waiting, my lonely soul is gonna bleed to death.

My bluebird, my bluebird knows my deepest desires
My bluebird, my bluebird will catch me just before the fire

I'm down on the river baby, but I'm stuck on the other side love,
From a rope my heart is hanging, water rises on a lonely soul,
And I'll take my chances breathing, ain't never gonna hold my breath,
Because I know if I stay waiting, my lonely soul is gonna bleed to death.
