levon helm - golden bird lyrics

Loading...

walking along on a path in the mountains
i saw a bird flying way up high
gold were its wings in the sun of the morning
flashing at me as it flew through the sky

it’s beauty was such, and i felt i must have it
she stood all day, nearly into the night
finally anger that i couldn’t catch it
determined that i would stop it in flight.

i found a stone by a mountain stream flowing
grounded and smoothed by the water’s fast flow
it felt so warm and alive in my hand
it was an arrow, my arm was a bow.

then a flashing of wings, and a cry pierced the air
it fluttered and it fell on the rocks at my feet
weeping a live-pick?, the thing that had fallen
blood stained my hands and tears wet my cheek.

later that night as i lay in my bed
i heard the sound of wings in the air
the room became bathed in a warm, golden glow
i opened my eyes and a woman stood there.

(duet with a woman)
do not you know when you hurt me so cruelly
i was a love, i was your friend.
you couldn’t stand it that i was so free
now you will never see me again.
