about

This song began as a goodbye to Moab, Utah, where I lived for 20 years. When I learned he was ill, it became a song for TR. I think he would like to come back as a raven.

lyrics

Pretty Bird

In a certain tree I will make my nest
You can write to me at this address
I’ll be there and then I’ll be gone
No matter where we live, we all move on

Make me a raven’s wing
I will return in the spring
When the desert is a beautiful thing
I will fly

CHORUS
Oh how the pretty bird sings
Fly away
Oh how the pretty bird sings
Fly away

Do you know your neighbors
Do you know your town
Do they pick you up
When you fall down
Do you grow best in a certain kind of ground
Do we get to keep every home we ever found

I make it up as I go along
I make my way and I make my song
Make me a raven, I will fly home
