[Verse 1] Bird on my sidewalk pecking at a French fry One blue foot lifted like it knows why You stared at my shoes then you tilted your head Like you were asking if I’d take that bread [Pre-Chorus] The wind kept moving You stayed in place Little gray stranger with a sharp clean face And I slowed down for the first time today 'Cause you looked up like you had something to say [Chorus] Bird on my sidewalk don’t fly away Bird on my sidewalk stay for a day Little bright trouble out in the open Bird on my sidewalk you got me open (Bird on my sidewalk) (Bird on my sidewalk) [Verse 2] Now every morning I scan the curb Half for the bird half for the nerve You hop to the gutter then back to the seam Like you own the whole block like you live in my dream [Pre-Chorus] I toss you a crumb You take your time No rush, no apology just a crooked line And I wonder how something so small Can turn my hard days into something at all [Chorus] Bird on my sidewalk don’t fly away Bird on my sidewalk stay for a day Little bright trouble out in the open Bird on my sidewalk you got me open (Bird on my sidewalk) (Bird on my sidewalk) [Bridge] When the rain comes down and blurs the street I’ll still remember that tiny beat One little body against the gray Making a home right in the way [Final Chorus] Bird on my sidewalk don’t fly away Bird on my sidewalk stay for a day Little bright trouble out in the open Bird on my sidewalk you got me open (Bird on my sidewalk) (Bird on my sidewalk) Bird on my sidewalk
