Lyrics
These Four Walls And Me
There's a bluebird on my windowsill
He's sheltering from the snow
I'd offer something to eat
But he would spread his wings and go,
I'll just sit and watch him
I'm enjoying his company
He's a welcome visitor
To these four walls and me.
chorus
Bluebird dont fly away
Stay, as long as you can
Listen to my tale of woe
I'm a brokenhearted man,
I lost the girl I love
I'm cold and lonely
And these four walls
Are closing in on me.
The patches where her pictures hung
They get bigger every day
Bluebird if I had your wings
I'd let her be and fly away,
Fly away to London
Fly away to Paris or Rome
I'd fly away from these four walls
That used to be a home.
chorus
Bluebird dont fly away
Stay, as long as you can
Listen to my tale of woe
I'm a brokenhearted man,
I lost the girl I love
I'm cold and lonely
And these four walls
Are closing in on me.
