Bird Song

by Robert Hunter

and Jerry Garcie

​

all I know is something
like a bird within her sang
all I know she sang a little while
and then flew on
tell me all that you know
I'll show you
snow and rain

if you hear
that same sweet song again
will you know why?
anyone who sings
a tune so sweet
is passin' by
laugh in the sunshine
sing, cry in the dark
fly through the night

don't cry now
don't you cry
don't you cry anymore
sleep in the stars
don't you cry
dry your eyes on the wind

all I know is something
like a bird within her sang
all I know she sang a little while
and then flew on
tell me all that you know
I'll show you
snow and rain
