The orange was the size of a watermelon to me 
well at least that is my memory 
sunshine made my bare feet burn upon the road 
far away we'd roam 

I'd be howlin' out a song in the back seat 
the boys would laugh and tease about my black feet 
they'd tell stories that would warm my soul 
Motorbikes and chrome 
Jimmy could not wait to get home 

Homebird sing 
fly me high on an angel's wing 
Homebird sing 
leave out nothing tell me everything 

Everywhere we went just looked the same to me 
the skys were blue and the grass was green 
I wonder how different I might see them now 
yet I see them somehow 

through the fallen memories when that angel baby sings 
Oh the little magic that his solo brings 
making up songs and words and singin from the soul 
oh the stories told 
none but him and Jimmy could know 

Homebird sing 
fly me high on an angel's wing 
Homebird sing 
leave out nothing tell me everything 

Homebird sing 
fly me high on an angel's wing 
Homebird sing 
leave out nothing tell me everything
