Cuby + Blizzards - Bird lyrics

They called him Bird A name that you've heard Blowing on the radio A certain sound hitting hard I couldn't let it go The world looked the same For what he played A universal word of courtesy People paying the first hour of heaven One two three four five six seven His name was Bird He was one of the herd He showed us all how to play in every way He blew his horn Like no one before But he needed too much booze It wrecked his life He left his wife But they knew his heart was true Tamarillo was the place Where they save you from space And he played like a man Twenty years ago he found peace of life In the eyes of a baroness His name was Bird He was one of the herd He showed us all how to play in every way They called him Bird A name that you've heard Blowing on the radio A certain sound hitting hard I couldn't let it go The world looked the same For what he played A universal word of courtesy People paying the first hour of heaven One two three four five six seven His name was Bird He was one of the herd He showed us all how to play in every way
