Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

If You Were a Bluebird

If you were a bluebird you'd be a sad one

I'd give you a true word but you've already had one

If you were a bluebird you'd be crying

You'd be flying home

If you were a raindrop you'd shine like a rainbow

And if you were a train stop the conductor would sing low

If you were a raindrop you'd be falling

You'd be calling home

If you were a hotel honey, you'd be a grand one

But, if you hit a slow spell do you think you could stand one?

If you were a hotel well I'd lean on your doorbell

I'd call you my home

If I was a highway I'd stretch alongside you

I'd help you pass by ways that had dissatisfied you

If I was a highway well I'd be stretching

I'd be fetching you home
