Chords

A, D, A
     A
You came with the season, as the first swallow sang
A brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name
    D Bm A
dooodoodoo

     A
We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow
my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home
   D Bm A
dooodoodoo

     F#m            D            A
My cheeks red like fire engines racing 

   F#m           D             A
straight to the heat of your skin

        F#m              D
and I know our days are numbered, 

       A           D
early bird of the summer

            A                 E      A 
you'll fly south just as the fall begins

     A
The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill
   D Bm A
dooodoodoo

You sent me a postcard from a town out of state,
I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same
   D Bm A
dooodoodoo

     F#m             D             A
The fields where we wandered were golden

    F#m   D        A
Now only muddy my boots

        F#m            D 
and I know I should recover,

          A           D 
you're a bird of the summer,

        A               E       A 
I was wrong to try and capture you

Flight

Flight
A D, E, A 2x *******
 F#m         D            A
Gone is the pale hand of winter

 F#m         D              A
Here is the first flush of may

     F#m            D
And soon I will discover

         A            D 
whether birds of the summer

        A                E   A 
fly in circles or just fly away
