Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Listen to my blue bird laugh
She can tell you why
Deep within her heart, you see
She knows only right, whoa-oh, just light
[Verse 2]
There she sits a lofty bird
The strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
She thinks only of you, woo just you
[Chorus]
So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
And each is differently used you just know
You sit there mesmerized by the depth of her eyes
If you categorize she got soul
She got soul, she got soul
[Outro]
Soon, she's gon' to fly away
Her sadness is her own
Leave beside her bath of tears
She'll go home
Going home, going home (Going home, she is going home)
(She is going home, she is going home) Going home, going home
(You know she is going home, she is going home) Going home, going home
(She is going home, she is going home) Going home, going home
Going home
