'Birds and Ships'
Lyrics by Woody Guthrie
Arranged Billy Bragg and Wilco
The birds are singing in your eyes today
Sweet flowers blossom in your smile
The wind and sun are in the words you say
Where might your lonesome lover b-e?
Birds may be singing in my eyes this day
Sweet flowers blossom when I smile
But my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild
My sweetheart rides a ship on the se-ea.
Though my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild
Where might my lonesome lover b-e?
