The Grateful Dead
Bird Song (Live at Yale Bowl, New Haven, CT, July 31, 1971)
[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
All I know is something like a bird
Within her sang
All I know she sang a little while
And then flew on

[Refrain]
Tell me all that you know
I'll show you
Snow and rain

[Verse 2]
If you hear that same sweet song again
Will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet
Is passing by

[Refrain]
Laugh in the sunshine
Sing
Cry in the dark
Fly through the night
[Chorus]
Don't cry now
Don't you cry
Don't you cry anymore
La-la-la-la
Sleep in the stars
Don't you cry
Dry your eyes on the wind
La-la-la-la, la, la

[Verse 3]
All I know is something like a bird
Within her sang
All I know she sang a little while
And then flew on

[Refrain]
Tell me all that you know
I'll show you
Snow and rain

[Verse 4]
If you hear that same sweet song again
Will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet
Is passing by
[Refrain]
Laugh in the sunshine
Sing
Cry in the dark
Fly through the night

[Chorus]
Don't cry now
Don't you cry
Don't you cry anymorе
La-la-la-la
Sleep in the stars
Don't you cry
Dry your eyes on thе wind
La-la-la-la, la, la, la

[Verse 5]
All I know is something like a bird
Within her sang
All I know she sang a little while
And then flew on

[Outro]
Tell me all that you know
I'll show you
Snow and rain
[Instrumental]
