Little Bird

That night in Kerry County had a mind of its own
 There was a storm in the sea with a name
 We laugh till we yelled as we ran to the pubs
 As if somehow it could stop the rain
 You were hard to find
 A different kind that I'd never knew
 There's a thousand ways
 That I could say how much I loved you
 But I lost the words
 You flew off like a little bird
 So head east outside the city
 You know my love, it runs deep in those parts
 You came here to say you were leaving
 Babe, I'd say it's leaving that got you this far
 'Cause you were hard to find
 A different kind I'd never knew
 There's a thousand ways
 That I could say how much I loved you
 But I lost the words
 I still hear your songs, you little bird
 As long as people sing songs, the stories live on
 And ours had highs and lows, but it's real
 And I'll be right here
 While you look for answers alone
 Go find the life that you've made in your mind
 Tell the truth, I'll probably find a ditch on the road to Damascus
 Babe, I'd be lying to say I'll be fine
 You were hard to find
 A different kind, I'd never knew
 There's a thousand ways
 I could say how much I loved you
 I lost the words
 And now they're just a tattoo of a little bird
