A new song inspired by Al and the other folks on the board who have lost someone young and full of potential.

My apologies for the bad audio. I played this so many times tonight it feels like my fingers might fall off. Also, because I'm so lousy on the guitar I had to play this really slow. I sped up the tempo but the audio took on a kind of warble to it (no pun intended)

Little Bird
Wendy DuMond
(c) May, 2008

Oh, little bird..
Where have you flown?
The nest has grown quiet
Since you've been gone

Oh, little bird..
How you would sing,
You'd chirp and you'd warble
Like a silver bell's ring

But you flew away..
Across the naked sky
It must have seemed like freedom
That bright and shining lie

Oh, little bird...
What joy you would bring,
Just a fledgling with no plumage
Like a crown with no king

Oh, little bird...
Your wings have been broken
And the wind speaks in whispers
As I stare at your token

But you've flown away
To the sky that was yawning
But you couldn't know
Just what it was spawning

Oh, little bird...
Where have you gone?
Sometimes I hear wings beating
Beneath the earth's soft loam

But you've taken flight
High above the trees
And though I might not see you
I feel you in the breeze

Oh, little bird...
Where have you flown?
The nest has grown quiet
Since you've been gone
