Little Bird

Little bird I see sitting there;
do you have a name?  Your name I say,
will you share your name with me?
Pristine and beautiful, your name I say.

Little bird, I need to know your name,
Don't lie to me, we both have names you and I,
I need to know—I need to know your name;
little bird your name; your name before you die.

Little bird so small and pretty;
your bones are brittle, pretty bird.
Singsong; you sing songs so pretty.
Sing to me; sing to me; sing me your words.

Little bird with reluctant eyes,
fly away before I insist to speak,
Little bird with reluctant eyes,
All I want is to hear you speak.
