There's a pine warbler sitting on a hollow limb 
    E5                              F5
he seems to have the whole morning out right in front of him 
      C5                            A5
and everything he sings from the branch that he's sitting on 
  F5                           F5
seems to hush the leaves and the colors all around 
          C5                 G5
First he sings and then he goes. 
          C5                 G5
and what it means? It's hard to know.

Baby works down right off of Barbur Blvd 
 E5                         F5
Writes down everything on the back of a business card
 C5                         A5 
everything she writes will turn into a song or two 
    F5               F5
she puts it on the stage and all goes still 
             C5              G5
now if she sings a forest clear 
             C5               G5
she puts a tree right in your ear.
 
F5                 C5
Now why can't you stay with me? 
F5                                 C5         E5     F5
Why don't you tell me it cause it makes a fool of me 
      F5           C5
Well Eden was a garden you know 
    D5                                 D5 
the birds were in the trees until the place was gone 
        D5                                 D5
they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on

Just the other night the clocks were moving awful slow 
  E5                             F5
I heard a woman's voice coming up from the street below 
  C5                        A5
I got up from my bed that song was so enrapturing 
   F5                            F5
and found my real to reel just to see if I could capture - 
{drum builds} 
        C5               G5                  C5
by the time i turned it on, and turned an ear 
                 G5
that voice was gone.

F5                  C5
Now why can't it stay with me? 
F5                              C5       E5      F5
Why don't you say it cause it makes a fool of me 
      F5           C5
Well Eden was a garden you know 
      D5                                D5
the birds were in the trees until the place was gone 
          D5                                D5
they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on
