Young Robin Lyrics by Greg Brown

Bath Tub Blues

0

I'm a young robin way up hig
Too old for the nest, too young to die
Watching the jays and the grackles sail by
Calling me bad names
I know I could fly if I wanted to
I know I could fly if I wanted to
I know I could fly if I wanted to
I don't want to , right now
One of my brothers tried too fast
And his first flight was his last-
I saw him flopping around in the grass
And that fat cat saw him too
Dad sit singing at the top of the tree
Mom floats by and says to me
Take your time, just wait 'til you're ready
Just watch me for awhile
Oh, I know you could fly if you wanted to
I know you could fly if you wanted to
I know you could fly if you wanted to
Do you want to, right now?
I'll just ease out where the tree meets the sky
And wait for a good breeze blowing by
And spread my wings and close my eyes-
Here goes nothing
I knew I could fly if I wanted to
I knew I could fly if I wanted to
I knew I could fly if I wanted to
And I want to, I want to, I want to
Right now
