lyrics

Little Winter Bird
Shelley Ackerman, Nov 2022

Chorus
Little winter bird
Little winter bird
Little winter bird
Little winter bird

All your Fair weathered, Fair feathered friends
have High-tailed it south - High-winged it south
You don't Go even Though the autumn ends
And you Gladden my heart with each Note from your mouth

Chorus

The Leaves swirl from Trees through the air
and Blanket the ground, frosty Yellows and browns
But the Evergreens have Never been that bare
They Carry the weight as the Snow bears them down

Chorus

In her Lair the sleeping Bear is breathing slow
and the Winds blow and freeze, while the Fat bumblebees
and the Foxes rest in Nests beneath the snow.
Still the Sweet chickadee sings her Little song to me

Bridge

All my Fair weathered, Fair feathered friends
have High-tailed it south - High-winged it south
You don't go even Though the autumn ends
And you Gladden my heart with each Note from your mouth

Chorus (2)
