C D A
Hearing a pretty coo,
f#m D
You look through the meadow
A E
At a swooping bird
It seems as though the river shape-shifted
Around the dam,
It's vital, the rolling
A C E
At times, you're wiser for it
C D A E
Though that's not the case all the time
A C F
At times you adore it
C D A E
Though occasionally you hang your head too
f#m D A E
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
I've been mulling and breathing
I was practicing my script
I've been growing my hair out
Lone iris on laurel island
The willow is steady
As wildly as it swings
At times, I'm wiser for it
Though that's not the case all the time
At times I adore it
Though occasionally I too hang my head
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
The air embroiders jasmine
I pack up all of my things
To go find a place to sing
Fringe on my blue Schwinn, I ride
Through the oak corridor
To that old Quarter
At times, I'm wiser for it
Alive when the heart is stirred
At times, I adore it
And today I saw a swooping bird
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
