Honesty (live) – Brother James
Pretty bird, I don’t wanna scare you away
Just sing the word, these toes’ll tip another way
You’re pretty, bird, everyone knows,
but pretty is the least of these
Honest, you’re honesty,
makes me want to keep in your company
And no I don’t have a ring for spring
I just wanna hang around good things
I hope you stick around
and I don’t mind if it don’t feel right;
people get hurt it’s fine
I hope you stick around, don’t take flight
Makin my heart light with your free heart’s cry
I hope you stick around
Took a drive,
and you seemed to have a good time
Did my distracted mind not listen,
is it really that hard to find time
You said, honest, dishonesty
Might have been the death of me
But now honestly all that I see
is a bird keepin courage close at wing
I just wanna hang around good things
I hope you stick around
and I don’t mind if it don’t work out;
love is for more than the blind.
I hope you stick around, with your old soul,
Makin’ my heart full
With your free heart’s cry;
I hope you stick around
Pretty Byrd I don’t want to scare you away
