The Nest

from New Northbound by Tyler Stenson

about

A groovy acoustic song about finding the security of Home in a windy world.

lyrics

Baby, it seems
Like this city has outgrown us
And put us out in the sticks
With the dogs and the dirt and the leaves.
But Honey,
If Home is where the heart is,
Then we’re right where we need to be:
Just you and me-
Two birds on a branch of a tree,
With roots grown deep as the sea.

Baby, I know
It’s not what you wanted,
Hanging out in the middle,
Somewhere between the street and the stars.
But if it’s this or the cage of City Man’s wage,
Then I guess we’ll get some use from these wings.
Yeah, you and me-
Two birds on a branch of a tree,
With roots grown deep as the sea.

Little birds on a limb,
Caught up in the wind,
Oh, it’s hard to win.
But, you can trace a little line
Back to the pine and down
To the big ol ground.

If that’s what you want,
I can make it happen,
Because all I ever wanted was to see you
Smile like the star that you are.
But, if you believe my songs
Will one day catch on,
Then let us do what we do and sing.
Yeah, you and me-
Two birds on a branch of a tree,
With roots grown deep as the sea.
