lyrics

I’ve got a birdhouse
But it’s empty
I’ve got some seed and a tree nearby
If only a sparrow would stay awhile
Then this seed wouldn’t go to flower

I can’t hear the birds sing when I wake up
I can’t hear the crickets at night
If only the traffic would stop blaring by
Then this seed would get somewhere

Can’t you see I’ve been workin quite a while
Tryna get my birdhouse to host a few
They don’t like the rumble and air
Tryna reach the country side where
They don’t need me or you
They don’t need me or you

I can’t hear the birds sing when I wake up
I can’t hear the crickets at night
If only the traffic would stop blaring by
Then maybe seed would get somewhere
Maybe we’d get somewhere
Oh maybe we’d get somewhere
