Yellow Bird Lyrics by Claire Johnston

The One and Only

0

[Intro]
Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend
Leave the nest again?
That is very sad
Makes me feel so bad
You can fly away
In the sky away
You more lucky than me
[Verse 1]
I also had a pretty boy
He's not with me today
They're all the same
Those pretty things
Take tenderness
Then they fly away
[Chorus]
Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend
Leave the nest again?
That is very sad
Makes me feel so bad
You can fly away
In the sky away
You more lucky than me
[Bridge]
[non-lexical singing]
(Yellow bird)
(High in banana tree)
(Yellow bird)
(Sit all alone like me)
[non-lexical singing]
[Chorus]
Yellow bird
(High in banana tree)
Yellow bird
(Sit all alone like me)
Did your lady friend
Leave the nest again?
That is very sad
Makes me feel so bad
You can fly away
In the sky away
You more lucky than me
Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me
