Little Bird
Whispers of Love in Rain: Little Bird's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Little bird come sit upon my window sill
Expresses an invitation to a little bird to sit on the window sill.
Sat there through the falling rain
Describes the little bird enduring the falling rain.
I watched that little bird upon my window sill
The narrator observes the bird and reflects on thoughts of a loved one.
Saw my thoughts of you go by again
The narrator sees their thoughts of a special person passing by again.
And the picture of my face
Reflection of the narrator's face on the window pane.
reflected on the pane
The image of the narrator's face is mirrored on the window.
Is it tears I see or is it rain?
Questions whether the visible moisture is tears or rain.
I remember how we talked before we said goodbye
Recalls a conversation before a parting, highlighting youth and naivety.
Too young to know the world outside our door
Reflects on the impact of time creating a barrier between the narrator and the loved one.
Now the miles of time have built a wall my love
Time and distance have created a metaphorical wall in their relationship.
Though I tried I just can't tear it down
Despite efforts, the narrator struggles to break down the emotional barrier.
I said that love takes many shapes it has no form
Defines love as shapeless, boundary-less, and free from constraints.
It has no boundaries has no grips to hold
Contrasts the fluid nature of love with the inevitable impact of time and change.
But time will take the foolish hand a twist will change the pain
Time can twist and change emotions, making one look back with a cold perspective.
Make the heart look back with eyes grown cold
Emphasizes the transformative power of time on the heart.
No regrets about the past, there's nothing I can change
Expresses acceptance and a lack of regrets about the past.
Life's a road you walk just one way down
Life is portrayed as a one-way journey with no ability to change the past.
But lookin' back I do recall that frame of time
Recalls a time when the world was filled with love and time seemed insignificant.
When the world was love and time was just a thought
Contrasts the current perspective with a past where love prevailed over time.
Many things go many ways the course of life is such
Acknowledges the diverse paths life can take.
We all must pick that road of life to walk
Highlights the necessity of choosing a life path.
And age gives off old memories like handnotes in a log
Aging brings forth memories, likened to handnotes in a log.
Where the world is time and love is just a thought
Describes a perspective where the world is defined by time, and love is a fleeting thought.
So as the thoughts go tumbling back I wonder how you look
Reflects on how thoughts drift back, pondering the appearance of the loved one.
Wonder if you've seen that little bird
Questions if the loved one has observed the same little bird.
and I wonder if he's sat upon your window sill
Wonders if the bird has perched on the loved one's window sill.
I wonder if you'll ever hear these words
Contemplates whether the loved one will hear these words.
Little bird come sit upon my window sill
Repeats the invitation for the little bird to sit on the window sill.
Sat there through the falling rain
Reiterates the bird enduring the falling rain.
I watched that little bird upon my window sill
Repeats the observation of the little bird and the passing thoughts of the loved one.
Saw my thoughts of you go by again
Reiterates the sight of thoughts about the loved one passing by again.
