Blue Bird
Homecoming Serenade: A Blue Bird's Tale
Lyrics
There's a blue bird that lives in my front yard
Expressing awareness of a blue bird in the front yard.
He comes and he goes but he's never very far away
Describing the bird's transient nature but close proximity.
I wonder if he's noticed me
Speculating on whether the bird is aware of the observer.
Watching his movement from the porch
Observing the bird's movements from the porch.
And now that the renovation's over
Referring to the completion of home renovations.
I hope he is not disturbed anymore
Expressing a hope that the bird is not disturbed anymore.
And back to business as usual
Anticipating a return to normalcy after renovations.
I can watch the sun rise over the mountains
Describing the view of the sunrise over mountains from bed.
From this bed every morning
Highlighting a daily routine of observing the sunrise.
As I lay beside you
Sharing the experience of lying beside a loved one.
Oh, what a blessing
Expressing gratitude for the blessing of the moment.
It's so good to be home
Reflecting on the comfort and joy of being home.
The blackberries are out of control
Noting the abundance of blackberries, suggesting nature's growth.
This hillside used to be an apple orchard
Recalling the past state of the hillside as an apple orchard.
At least that's what we are told
Expressing a desire to restore the orchard.
I hope that's something that we can restore
Hoping for the revival of a past state of nature.
Out back we've got a maple tree (A maple tree)
Highlighting the beauty of a red maple tree in the backyard.
It's the most beautiful red in a landscape of yellows and greens
Describing the landscape dominated by yellows and greens.
(Yellows and greens)
Emphasizing the visual contrast of the red maple tree.
It brings back old memories
Stating that the tree evokes old memories.
I can watch the sun rise over the mountains
Reiterating the sunrise view from bed over the mountains.
From this bed every morning
Repeating the daily routine of observing the sunrise.
As I lay beside you
Reemphasizing the experience of lying beside a loved one.
Oh, what a blessing
Reiterating gratitude for the blessing of the moment.
Oh, I hope that we stay here forever
Expressing a desire for a lasting stay in the current home.
And grow old underneath this roof
Wishing to grow old together under the same roof.
Fill our home up with laughter
Aspiring to fill the home with the laughter of children.
From children that look like you
Imagining future children resembling a loved one.
It's so good to be home
Reiterating the joy and comfort of being home.
I can watch the sun rise over the mountains (The sun rise over)
Repeating the sunrise view from bed with added emphasis.
From this bed every morning (This bed every morning)
Reiterating the daily routine of observing the sunrise.
As I lay beside you (As I lay beside)
Reemphasizing the experience of lying beside a loved one.
Oh, it's such a blessing (Oh, what a blessing)
Reiterating gratitude for the blessing of the moment.
Oh, I hope that we stay here forever (I hope that we stay)
Expressing a desire for a lasting stay in the current home.
And grow old underneath this roof (Grow old underneath this roof)
Wishing to grow old together under the same roof.
Fill our home up with the laughter (Fill it up with love)
Aspiring to fill the home with the laughter of children.
Of children that look like you
Imagining future children resembling a loved one.
Oh, It's so good to be home
Reiterating the joy and comfort of being home.
