Bird Of The Summer

You came with the season, as the first swallow sang

A brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name

Doooodooodooo

We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow

My feet sprouted wings

And I flew all the way home

Dooodoodoo

My cheeks red like fire engines racing

Straight to the heat of your skin

And I know our days are numbered, early bird of the summer

You'll fly south just as the fall begins

The leaves changed their colors

And the schoolyards were filled

My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill

Dooo

You sent me a postcard from a town out of state,

I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same

Doodoodoo

The fields where we wandered were golden

Now only muddy my boots

And I know I should recover,

You're a bird of the summer,

I was wrong to try and capture you

Flight

Flight

Flight

Flight

I met someone walking in a park by the lake

He don't fly like we did but he don't fly away

Doooodooodooo

Gone is the pale hand of winter

Here is the first flush of may

And soon I will discover whether birds of the summer

Fly in circles or just fly away
