The Yellow-Billed Cuckoo

Jack Hardy

[Verse 1]
Yellow-billed cuckoo sittin' on that fence
Looking both ways like he don't have no sense
Sense of direction and sense of trust
But he knows somethin' in this land of dust

[Verse 2]
And I sat lookin' in her deep blue eyes
At her dark black hair and her little white lies
Lies of contrition and lies of deceit
Lyin' to herself and lyin' to me

[Chorus]
Has he heard you singin' that waverin' song
That don't know the difference 'tween right or wrong?
Has he heard you wishin' that you were free
Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me?

[Verse 3]
A distant storm lightening up the sky
Frightening the horses that are ready to ride
Leaves on the trees turnin' inside-out
Gonna break loose, no shadow of doubt

[Chorus]
Has he heard you singin' that waverin' song
That don't know the difference 'tween right or wrong?
Has he heard you wishin' that you were free
Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me?

[Verse 4]
Wildflowers bloom on a little bit of rain
A little bit of hope on a desolate plain
Wildflowers wither underneath the strain
Of the wildfire burnin' up another man's name

[Chorus]
Has he heard you singin' that waverin' song
That don't know the difference 'tween right or wrong?
Has he heard you wishin' that you were free
Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me?
Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me?
