about

This song is about getting my lifer Yellow-headed Blackbird in 2017 at Estero Llano Grande State Park in Texas.

lyrics

Yellow-headed Blackbird

I remember my favorite toy when I was three years old
I remember the first time that I saw the stars through a telescope
I remember where I stood when I heard the King had died
And I remember the very first bird that I could identify

And I remember when I saw you
And I remember thinking
Could it be true?

Yellow-headed Blackbird, how you stand out in a crowd
There's no shadow of a doubt
When you sing your song out loud
Yellow-headed Blackbird, you're an easy bird to miss
And you were my nemesis
But now you're mine

And I remember when I saw you
And I remember thinking
Could it be true?

Yellow-headed Blackbird, how you stand out in a crowd
There's no shadow of a doubt
When you sing your song out loud
Yellow-headed Blackbird, you're an easy bird to miss
And you were my nemesis
But now you're mine
Yellow-headed Blackbird, with your head of golden blond
Well I saw you in a pond
And now you're mine

Could this be true?
This could be you
Believe it's true
Believe in you
Imagine it's true
Dreams can come true
