The streets, the signs are pointin' all one way
But you don't realize just what they say
You may fight, you may run,
You may know what you've done
It makes me feel so sad to think
what I might've had.
I watch the stars, I watch the sun
Now I watch for anyone
But it's only make believe.
You work, you work,
you work so hard
An' then someone, someone will
Come around again
You may think it's for real but
The places that I go
Don't feel good anymore.
I see it all, rainbow's in fall
I see her face upon my wall
But it's only make believe.
Fly away, bluebird fly away from me
To a place somewhere far across the sea
Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today
The waves that crash upon the sand
Another place, a far off land
And every day, I have to stay
But you are free, you could fly away
But it's only make believe.
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work.
Bluebird, bluebird fly away from me
Bluebird, bluebird fly away
Bluebird, bluebird fly away from me
Bluebird, bluebird fly away
Bluebird fly away, away, away
Oh, bluebird, bluebird fly away.
