Nightbird Blues

Lyrics

NIGHTBIRD BLUES I HEARD A NIGHTBIRD CALLING, CALLING YOUR NAME AND BABY, IT MADE ME WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN AND I WONDER, WONDER WHERE YOU ARE NOW I HEARD A TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING, SOUND SO SAD AND BABY, IT MADE ME WANT TO HOLD YOU AGAIN SO BAD AND I WONDER, WONDER WHERE YOU ARE NOW AIN'T IT FUNNY HOW THE FEELING HOLDS ON EVERYTHING I HEAR IS JUST ANOTHER SAD SONG MAKES ME WONDER, WONDER WHERE YOU ARE NOW I HEARD THE WHEELS WHINING, SOUND SO BLUE SOUND JUST LIKE THEY SOUNDED AS I DROVE AWAY FROM YOU AND I WONDER, WONDER WHERE YOU ARE NOW I HEARD MY HEART POUNDING INSIDE MY HEAD MADE ME WANT TO TAKE BACK EVERYTHING THAT I SAID I SAID WE BOTH HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO THAT MY HAPPINESS WAS JUST A MATTER OF LEAVING YOU AND NOW IT'S SO FUNNY HOW THE FEELING HANGS ON EVERYTHING I HEAR IS JUST ANOTHER SAD SONG MAKES ME WONDER, WONDER WHERE YOU ARE NOW
