High up there in that old birch tree

A small bird sings so sweetly

I can’t help but wonder why she’s singing now

As the sun sets behind the evening clouds

Does she sing for a lover who is far away?

Is she calling for her babies who are out to play?

Carrying them safely back with every note

Making sure they know the way back home

Sing…

Breaking through the silence of the evening

Steadfast in the song she’s singing

High up there in that old birch tree

A small bird sings so sweetly

Maybe she’s the one whose lost her way

Night time is falling and she’s gone astray

I can’t help but wonder as I walk below

Does she sing because it’s al she knows?

Sing…

Breaking through the silence of the evening

Steadfast in the song she’s singing

High up there in that old birch tree

A small bird sings so sweetly

Breaking through the silence of the evening

Steadfast in the song she’s singing

High up there in that old birch tree

A small bird sings so sweetly

I can’t help but wonder why she’s singing now

As the sun sets behind the evening clouds

As the sun sets behind the evening clouds
