Birds sing sad songs also

 I don't know why so many birds can sing 

sweet songs that appeal to human beings so much. 

I always think that birds sing their songs primarily 
for other birds of their same kinds for  
communciation and sharing among themselves,
but not for human beings. 

May be nature classifies birds and human beings 
as the same kind, so when the birds sing sweet songs, 
their songs mean the same sweetness to us. 

But birds do not always sing happy songs,
I always find birds sing sad songs,
it means the same sadness to me.

Jenny Wren · Paul McCartney




Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing
But a broken heart, took her soul away
Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing
She could see the world, and it's foolish ways
How, we, spend our days, casting, love aside
Loosing, site of life, day, by, day
She saw poverty, breaking all the home
Wounded warriors, took her song away
But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing
When this broken world, mends its foolish ways
Now we, spend our days, catching, up on life
All because of you, Jenny Wren
