I saw a redwing blackbird This morning in the cattails by the pond. It sang each raucous note As though it was its first; Sang as though it was feeling its heart burst.
A single redwing blackbird -- It flew across the pond and it was gone. Through all the busy-ness That happens through the day, Thatís the place where my thoughts stayed.
If I could learn the secret; If I could just discover How to live free and easy, Treat the world like a lover. If I could learn the secret, Iíd be free To sail away across the sundance sea.
