Lyrics

There's a red-winged black bird sitting on my windowsill Watching for you to come back this way again And I wonder And I wonder

Where'd you go? Why'd you have to go so soon? I've been looking for the answers, my friend But you know Oh, you know

My heart is heavy, I'm learning to carry that load I cry when I hear, "Shelter In A Time Of Storm" I know you're singing, before the throne of God I'll wait for a day, when I will join you there

I'm still using that chord you taught me I try to play my guitar just as good as you Just like you Just like you

This world was humming at a higher frequency But now things have shifted to a lower tone Without you Without you

My heart is heavy, I'm learning to carry that load I cry when I hear, "Shelter In A Time Of Storm" I know you're singing, before the throne of God I'll wait for a day, when I will join you there

There's a red-winged black bird sitting on my windowsill Watching for you to come back this way again And I wonder

@mattlitzinger Beautiful! Your voice is very folky, love it. The meter in the first two lines of each verse help to draw me in, to see what comes after the pause. Great imagery. Very nice job!

Ooo love your voice on the chorus. Gentle strumming and lovely lyrics combine very well. Nicely done.

I love your voice on this! That chorus sounds absolutely effortless.

Oh nice lyrical pacing and phrasing - really caught my ears. You have a gorgeous voice - nice guitar playing also, and the acoustic one-take is really well done and a pleasure to listen to. Love the melody and lyrics also. Well done!
