Yellow Bird of The Old Cedar (Song)

by Ramblings of an ageing Kid   Jun 14, 2011


Hey yellow bird standing there
On a branch of the old green Cedar
Breathing in the cold, singing the blues
Craving harmony from a lonesome blues guitar

Don't let your star stray, wilt and die
Don't let your tunes strand into the sky
Yellow bird of the old cedar .. fly

Hey yellow bird with frozen tears
Chaining your golden feathery wings
Speaking no words that cleanse your soul
This look in your eyes, the blues it only brings

Don't let your star stray, wilt and die
Don't let your tunes strand into the sky
Yellow bird of the old cedar .. fly

The ocean awaits .. your golden shiny grace
Yellow bird of the old cedar .. fly
Yellow bird of the old cedar .. fly

    I'm just now getting back in to song writing and it warms my heart to read such a wonderful song. This reminds me of a Beatles song called "Black Bird" Very very well done and I'm glad I stopped by to read. Keep writing my friend. -Nik
