lyrics

The bird in the tree couldn't sing
It was wanting for love just to be
wanting for no diamond ring
but the bird in the tree couldn't sing

The fox wouldn't go out tonight
his den was two scared yellow eyes
the light from the stars was too bright
no the fox wouldn't go out tonight

The swan in her nest couldn't sleep
her eggs flown away with the breeze
the shells all broke up by her feet
no the swan in her nest couldn't sleep

The star in the sky had a dream
of walking on legs and two feet
on the arms of a bright yellow beam
oh the star in the sky had a dream

The man on the boat lit a fire
he prayed as the flames they climbed higher
star bring a woman to me
star bring a woman to me

The wish is a song with no words
a song that is seen and not heard
a song that is sung by a bird
a bird people say couldn't sing
