lyrics

Firebird - Words and Music by Douglas Osborne

California wine and a frozen snickers bar
the pair of shades you found was on my eyes
i came to cool you out and ask you where you are
but you said you reached the chapter of goodbyes

the firebird flew in to fly you away
while i slept a thousand dreams to make you stay
the firebird flew in to fly you away

a feral cat poised to strike a squirrell far from his lair
could have had the same ideas in his eyes
i walked along the shore that day expecting you to care
when you said you reached the chapter of goodbyes

the firebird flew in to fly you away
while i slept a thousand dreams to make you stay
the firebird flew in to fly you away

minnesota snow and a melted block of ice
a special book kept hidden from my eyes
could never match that empty feeling you sent out once or twice
but you said you reached the chapter of goodbyes

the firebird flew in to fly you away
while i slept a thousand dreams to make you stay
the firebird flew in to fly you away

an island in the southern seas or tahoe’s windy shore
could have set the stage for one more of our tries
i thought our chances on that day were anything but poor
but you said you reached the chapter of goodbyes

the firebird flew in to fly you away
while i slept a thousand dreams to make you stay
the firebird flew in to fly you away
