Standard (EADGBE)

There's a pine warbler sitting on a hollow limb

he seems to have the whole morning out right in front of him

and everything he sings from the branch that he's sitting on

seems to hush the leaves and the colors all around

First he sings and then he goes.

and what it means? It's hard to know.

Baby works down right off of Barbur Blvd

Writes down everything on the back of a business card

everything she writes will turn into a song or two

she puts it on the stage and all goes still

now if she sings a forest clear

she puts a tree right in your ear.

Now why can't you stay with me?

Why don't you tell me it cause it makes a fool of me

Well Eden was a garden you know

the birds were in the trees until the place was gone

they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on

Just the other night the clocks were moving awful slow

I heard a woman's voice coming up from the street below

I got up from my bed that song was so enrapturing

and found my real to reel just to see if I could capture -

by the time i turned it on, and turned an ear

that voice was gone.

Now why can't it stay with me?

Why don't you say it cause it makes a fool of me

Well Eden was a garden you know

the birds were in the trees until the place was gone

they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on

Now why can't it stay with me?

Why don't you say it cause it makes a fool of me

Well Eden was a garden you know

the birds were in the trees until the place was gone

they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on
