The intro pattern pretty much repeats throughout the song. Standard tuning, unlike
almost every other Tallest Man song. I'm not quite sure about the lyrics, but I
think the rest is pretty accurate.

Verse:
I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
Though I am nothing big to offer
I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
It's like nothing in this world's ever still
And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
But sun is setting, shadows growing
A long cast figure will turn into night
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps
Chorus:
(C/B)
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
(C/B)
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
N.C.
How you're the light over me

Verse:
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won't be old
Chorus:
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
(same as chorus)
(C/B)
Chorus:
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
(same as the intro)
