Bluebird - Esmé Patterson

Goodmorning bluebird

Goodmorning cottonwood

Out the window, I see

All that I’ll ever need

All that I’ll ever need

Young men come in from town

Knife and filing in the crowd (?)

If you feel loneliness

That feel will burn you down

That feel will burn you down

And I, I’m not afraid

To lie down in my grave

Be any day now

Any day

We are always alone

Until death brings us home

So good morning, cottonwood

And goodmorning, bluebird

And I, I’m not afraid

To lie down in my grave

Be any day now

Any day

Any day
