I wanted to write a song that was just me, my guitar and my story as a singer/songwriter. I grew up singing in church and then moved to noisy pubs. I have always felt drawn to share the joy of songs and stories with people, even in those noisy pubs! One by one the crowd would tune into the sounds of a songbird sitting in the corner of a noisy pub.
lyrics
A little bluebird sits high above a street crowd.
She sings loud, no one hears her tune.
That little bluebird sees all that goes on down there,
She still sings proud, to the rising of the moon.
And she sings ooh, a pretty tune.
O—oh, to the rising of the moon.
That little bluebird wonders how it came to this.
That no one seems, to care anymore.
All the noise of the street, it gets so loud.
She still sings proud, underneath that moon.
Yea she sings ooh, a pretty tune.
O—oh, underneath that moon.
As she sits there to sing below the starry sky.
She is saddened, by all the lonely hearts.
Was there some way for her to reach them,
And tell them, it will be alright.
Maybe if she sings ooh, a pretty tune.
O—oh, to the rising of the moon.
Yea she sings ooh pretty tune,
O—oh, underneath that moon.
Little bluebird sits high above a street crowd,
She sings proud, can you hear her tune?
