"Bluebird" lyrics - NELLIE MCKAY

Bluebird
Bring back my happiness
And see me through
This clouded hour

Bluebird
On wings of loveliness
Carry me to a field
In flower

Thunder
Comes roaring up inside
I see a purple tide
And shadows weigh me

Bluebird
I wait with tenderness
So bring his love
To me

Bluebird
Bring back my loneliness
And see me through
This crowded hour

Bluebird
Where once was hopefulness
This heart has swift congealed
And soured

Culture
Carries me in its swell
I see the faces well
Too well for dreaming

Bluebird
Bring back my happiness
Oh, bring his loving heart
To me
