I love you like the little bird

Ive made up my mind

this is the time to relegate

no need to remind,

scans are unkind a lot of times

but Ive tried

Ive tried to write

what was in my head,

what was in my head

sometimes I feel

I feel so obsolete

because the kids want a faster beat

and if I was free, free to leave

but its my kids,

they need to eat..

I love you its true,

I love you like the little bird. (-click to listen)

no need to remind

life is unkind a lot of times

but its my kids, they need to eat

but its my kids, they need to eat

Fleeting Bird

what is a fleeting bird?

I meant for this song to be something of a riddle, but I never had too many people venture guesses at what it meant... actually I dont think I had anyone venture guesses.

When I wrote this song, almost immediately there were two versions

I still dont know how that happened or which came first,

was I dreaming when I wrote this? do I have multiple personalities?

no. I just have seriously embarrassing memory problems.

------------------------------------

the version most people voted for has been deemed

Version A [-for obvious reasons.]

to me it sounds like a younger time, like you were just figuring out what fleeting bird even meant, and now you are about to go out into the world.

Version A {download me}

Version B, I much preferred..

but it didnt receive any good feedback so I took it off purevolume to save space for so many new projects.

It sounds like looking back.. like someone much closer to death, having lost a lot of opportunities already and considering the last few before the hourglass is empty, you know?

Version B {download me}
