I'm in the house out in the backyard
i lit the smoke before the song
i'm not so worried about the after
i've been outside myself for way too long
i told my lady i be moving
i got a different frame of mind
what does it take to get it blooming
i put a prayer upon the great blue sky

all of my lessons they come in the form of a sound
i am a bird that is waiting for them to come down

i watch it move upon the water
the song it brings me into now
some things i thought i would remember
it's like my older ways have all burned down
this is the journey i've been taking
of how i enter different rooms
whatever way you want to get there
i hope you find the time to get there soon

all of my lessons they come in the form of a sound
i am a bird that is waiting for them to come down
all of my lessons they come in the form of a sound
i am a bird that is waiting for them to come down
