The Lyrics

a 'smooshing' of ernest tubb's "may the bird of paradise fly up your nose" and paul mc cartney's 'blackbird'
one fine night as i was walkin' down the street
i spied an inky bird as he began to tweet
well, he raised his head to cock it
and then took off like a rocket
and he rose into the sky with wings, a-fleet

may this bird that's faint at night fly up and go
its a moment that's been comin' way too slow
cause this bird was plagued by broken wings and woe
may this bird that's faint at night fly up and go

i had a broken eye and told him so
i told him learn to see, if apropos
when i heard him, he was hummin'
then those wings began a-drummin'
i know he's waitin' for his chance to grow

may this bird that's faint at night fly up and go
its a moment that's been comin' way too slow
cause this bird was plagued by broken wings and woe
may this bird that's faint at night fly up and go

he will fly into the heart of dark terrain
when he's set free, his life won't be the same
a sudden flight is just the ticket
just don't sit there in the thicket
if you don't take flight, there won't be any change

may this bird that's faint at night fly up and go
its a moment that's been comin' way too slow
cause this bird was plagued by broken wings and woe
may this bird that's faint at night fly up and go

This must be (ex-) Beatle Bashing week, and again, this OS deserves it. "apropos" - good one, alvin. Five droppings.
