[Verse 1]
I'm lost in the night
The icy wind is howling out your name
And desolation lingers like the fog
The fire is growing dimmer in the wind
[Chorus]
I'm out in the rain
The moon has gone behind the cloud again
And I can't stand to live another day
Because my bluebird went away
[Verse 2]
And I'm locked in this room with my sorrow
No escape, no way to get away
And my only connection with tomorrow
Is hoping that you might decide not to stay away
Oh, I'm out on a limb
If I could only find sweet love again
To live my life this way is too much to bear
Can't find my bluebird anywhere
[Chorus]
I'm out in the rain
The moon has gone behind the cloud again
And I can't stand to live another day
Bluebird, why'd you go away?
Bluebird, why'd you go away?
I'm lost in the night
The icy wind is howling out your name
And desolation lingers like the fog
The fire is growing dimmer in the wind
[Chorus]
I'm out in the rain
The moon has gone behind the cloud again
And I can't stand to live another day
Because my bluebird went away
[Verse 2]
And I'm locked in this room with my sorrow
No escape, no way to get away
And my only connection with tomorrow
Is hoping that you might decide not to stay away
Oh, I'm out on a limb
If I could only find sweet love again
To live my life this way is too much to bear
Can't find my bluebird anywhere
[Chorus]
I'm out in the rain
The moon has gone behind the cloud again
And I can't stand to live another day
Bluebird, why'd you go away?
Bluebird, why'd you go away?
