Little Bird [1973]
[Verse 1]
Little bird come sit upon my windowsill
Sat there through the fallin' rain
As I watched that little bird upon my windowsill
I saw my thoughts of you go by again

[Chorus]
Picture of my face
On the windowpane
Is it tears I see, or is it rain?

[Pedal Steel Solo]

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I remember how we talked before we said goodbye
Too young to notice the world outside our door
And how we laughed and said our love was free like birds that fly the winds
Well, the rainy day made me think of you once more

[Chorus]
Picture of my face
On the windowpane
Is it tears I see, or is it rain?

[Verse 3]
I have no regrets about the past, I see how young we were
When our world was love and life was but a thought
Many things go many ways, many times but once
'Til our lives have passed and that love is but a thought
[Chorus]
Picture of my face
On the windowpane
Is it tears I see, or is it rain?

[Verse 4]
So as my thoughts go tumbling back, I wonder how you look
Wonder if you've seen that little bird
I wonder if he's sat upon your windowsill
I wonder if you'll ever hear these words

[Chorus]
And a picture of my face
On the windowpane
Is it tears I see, or is it rain?
