Jim White Bluebird Lyrics:
Bluebird on a telephone line. How are you? I'm
feeling fine. Sweetly do I whisper your name.
Lonely solo taxi ride to a cheap motel on the
wrong side of the tracks. The facts are tricky to
explain. Cold front bearing down, blowing in from
Birmingham. By dawn the window's wet with icy
rain. Behind fourteen doors, a sad parade of
paramours are throwing little white rocks at
sorrow's window pane. Me, I've found someone to
love more than the rain. Salvation Army ringing
bell, kingdom come and wishing wells. Hey Santa

lonely hiss of passing cars feeds the ache of
ancient scars, like ghosts beneath my bed rattling
chains. No good luck charm or remedy ever proved
to soothe my sanity nor bad medicine served to
ease my pain. Had to find someone to love more
than the rain. Now, old habits will die hard. This
pile of junk setting in my yard... souvenirs from
the wrecking ball of dreams. You spend a lifetime
tearing temples down, it gets to feel like
hallowed ground is a shallow grave where ne'er the
bluebird sings. Last time home when I played this
song, you said "Dad, it's sad, and way too
long." And I pulled you close and held you in
my arms. Yes, salvation wears a thin disguise
'cause I can see the heaven in your eyes. And I
thank God them years I searched were not in
vain... finally found someone to love more than
the rain. Bluebird I love you more than the rain.
