A Bird Flew In My Open Window

"A Bird Flew in My Open Window" comes from the "Broken Reflections" album, November 2015. On that recording I used acoustic guitar and harmonica. A bird flew in my open window ‘Twas a robin, red of breast He cocked his head, looked at me sideways As he lighted on my desk I felt that he’d come with a message I could not guess what it might be But then he turned back toward the window And he took his leave of me As he dissolved into the foliage Of the early spring treetops I heard him sing his parting postlude And my heart did nearly stop Rolling crests and plunging valleys His melody was like the tide Majestic as a mighty ocean Cozy as a fireside You are flying in the azure You are singing with the clouds All you have to do is notice So raise your face and sing out loud The fear of dying makes you notice The joy of living everyday Pain and trouble is a rainstorm Your heart's a flower, come what May The beauty that you see around you Is the beauty that’s within Thoughts and fences cannot bound you Like the robin you can sing
