little birdie

The Tallest Man On Earth

Little birdie, little birdie
Won t you sing to me your song?
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone

Little birdie, little birdie
Why do you fly so high?
Well, it s just there, my dear lovers
Up there waiting in the sky

Little birdie, little birdie
What makes your wing so blue?
Well, it s just there, that all grieving
That all grieving over you, oh

I d rather be in this old darkness
Where the sun refuse to shine
Than to see you with another
And to know you ll never be mine

We ll fly down now
Little birdie, won t you sing to me your song?
Gotta sing now while we re together
I won t hear when I m gone, oh
