Standard (EADGBE)

There's a pine warbler sitting on a hollow limb

 he seems to have the whole morning out right in front of him

 and everything he sings from the branch that he's sitting on

 seems to hush the leaves and the colors all around

 First he sings and then he goes.

 and what it means? It's hard to know.

Baby works down right off of Barbur Blvd

 Writes down everything on the back of a business card

 everything she writes will turn into a song or two

 she puts it on the stage and all goes still

 now if she sings a forest clear

 she puts a tree right in your ear.

Now why can't you stay with me?

Why don't you tell me it cause it makes a fool of me

 Well Eden was a garden you know

 the birds were in the trees until the place was gone

 they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on

Just the other night the clocks were moving awful slow

 I heard a woman's voice coming up from the street below

 I got up from my bed that song was so enrapturing

 and found my real to reel just to see if I could capture -

 by the time i turned it on, and turned an ear

 that voice was gone.

Now why can't it stay with me?

Why don't you say it cause it makes a fool of me

 Well Eden was a garden you know

 the birds were in the trees until the place was gone

 they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on

Now why can't it stay with me?

Why don't you say it cause it makes a fool of me

 Well Eden was a garden you know

 the birds were in the trees until the place was gone

 they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on
