about

A story about the simplest things in life and finding love in the moment.

lyrics

Bird On A Wire
black bird sits on a wire
people hustling by
blue jay flies up beside her
asks, “why do you think they cry”
she says, “love, love, love
sometimes it’s just not enough
but they don’t think that we know this
’cause we are just birds and we’re free
we’d only know about tree tops,
things like worms and bugs and seeds
but we’ve got love, love, love
we know love, is all we need.”
we gonna fly away
over the ocean and through the rain
over the mountain and above the plain
on a sunday afternoon
into a beautiful sunset daze
there’s a small park in east kentucky
where all of those love birds go
sits jonny with june beside him
holdin’ hands wher’er they go
’cause they’ve got love, love, love
they know love is all they need
they gonna fly away
over the ocean and through the rain
over the mountain and above the plain
on a sunday afternoon
they gonna fly away
through the cloud and the fog
of the unknown days
and come out clean
into a beautiful sunset daze
there’s a barn down in smiley hollow
where we all have gathered ’round
with our family and friends beside us
now we are singing and dancing out loud
’cause we’ve got love, love, love
we know love is all we need
we gonna fly away
over the ocean and through the rain
over the mountain and above the plain
on a sunday afternoon
we gonna fly away
through the cloud and the fog
of the unknown days
and come out clean
into a beautiful sunset daze
