Oh well I know you stroke the setup baby
Of all the leaves up in the ground
And I know our song is old but healthy
As I see dry leaves falling down
With all this fever in my mind
I could drown in your kerosene eyes
You're just a riddle in the sky
Oh where do my bluebird fly
And as the early sigh of dawn will thunder
I see you stir the fog around
And when you find the voice in gears of sunset
We'll hear that high and lonesome sound
And I will question every wind
If they gone through the glow of your eyes
You're just a riddle in the sky
Oh where do my bluebird fly
Oh well I know you stroke your feathers baby
Upon the ghosts along my trail
And I know your life was sold and buried
Before I knew it was for sale
With all this fever in my mind
I should aim for those kerosene eyes
You're just a target in the sky
I said where do my bluebird fly
