Haven\'t alone much lately I think
I\'ve got to quiet down
enough of this runaround
I\'ve got to get out of town


so i sit alone in the power of thought
looking for an empty space
a livin\', breathin\' place
a bit of sustaining grace


out here I\'ll bid all my troubles by
and exchange graceful lilting melodies with a sightless bird
my unfettered spirit taking flight
telling my secrets to unsighted friends


as I lay my back upon a cool moss tree
I\'m looking out across the sky
I can see clouds roll by
I can feel tension die


and I lay my head upon a hill
sightless bird sings to heal
weariness I may feel
sometimes may seem too real


out here I\'ll bid all my troubles by
and exchange graceful lilting melodies with a sightless bird
my unfettered spirit taking flight
telling my secrets to unsighted friends
