about

"Little Bird Singing" was written with my friend Shannon Wright and has always been a favorite of mine of the songs we wrote together. Happy to let this little one out into the world to sing it's heart out.

lyrics

LITTLE BIRD SINGING

I’m just a miner working in a shaft
Trying to bring the precious stones back
I seek the color that’s hard to find
I couldn’t tell you if it was day or night

Chorus:
There’s still a little bird singing
So I keep digging on
I’ll keep swinging this pick and shovel
Long as I can hear his song

Don’t come from money, blood ain’t blue
One good vein leads straight to you
I don’t care what they say above
I ain’t crazy, I’m crazy in love

Chorus

He sings “You’ll find it your almost there
Don’t you worry there’s plenty of air”

I lost you and I lost years
Dug myself to Hell down here
Stone by stone, bit by bit
The Devil ain’t never gonna let me quit

Chorus
