Did you hear the night bird sing
Darlin in my dreams it always steals
Your wedding ring
And you ain't never seen me cry
Like I do when that night bird takes flight
I wish we could live that
The world up there can disappear
We wouldn't feel so trapped
You and me we love so sweet
Every story needs a pair of wings
You paint a picture, I write on the sky
Sail above and leave behind the hurt
Forgiving is easy and we're learning why
An open heart makes this whole thing work
Thank you good nightbird
Can you hear that creaking pine
Struggling against the wind
To find a little light
We might learn a thing or two
To reach up higher like them shade trees do
You paint a picture, I write on the sky
Sail above and leave behind the hurt
Forgiving is easy and we're learning why
An open heart makes this whole thing work
Thank you good nightbird
I get lost in the timber and found in your arms
We find our peace 'tween soil and stars
You paint a picture, I write on the sky
Sail above and leave behind the hurt
Forgiving is easy and we're learning why
An open heart makes the whole thing work
You dance on the water, we fall and we fly
Forget about and leave behind the hurt
Forgiving is easy and we're learning why
An open heart makes the whole thing work
Thank you love and thank you good nightbird
