A Strange Bird - Billysong

I grew up south of the city
In a little town
That hardly ever noticed whether or not we were around
Took a lot of visits...
To the city pound
That ol' dog catcher caught my mother more times than I could count
We got out of that town

Oh

A little closer to the city,
I could see the lights
Blocking out the starlight burning stars into my eyes
And in that city
I broke my first heart
I had to run away to escape the pain that I had caused
That I had caused

Oh

Traded in that cityscape
For a mountain view
Where I met Billy and his banjo and he told me what to do
Said 'keep on playin
Girl play your heart out
You've got what it takes and I ain't go no doubt
But can't be lovers
'Cuz were goin our own ways
But we're gonna find somebody someday
So we went our own ways

Oh

From the mountains to the desert
Met the rocks
From the bottom to the top
And I jumped off

From the river to the land into the sky
A leap of faith that learned me how to fly

Back to that town...

Just south of the city
With a mountain view
I hardly ever noticed
But now I always do

It reminds me of you
You...

I'm dreaming of you
