Lyrics

The little yellow birds
Do they cry for me
Or do they cry with happiness ?
They look down on me with tiny eyes
Do they see my tears?
They seem to flutter by so carelessly
Do they hope I have some seeds ?
They land beside me without any fear
Do they see my tears ?
There is the open sky where a warm breeze blows
Still the birds stay close by me
Do they want some hair to make a nest for spring
Or do they want to dry my tears ?
