From the recording It Wasn't About the Money
Written by Brin Petersen
Lyrics
Guess the old bear's woken up, he's been wandering through the yard
Still haven't caught a glimpse but sometimes he leaves a calling card
Red-wing blackbird tells me summer's comin', sun is shinin'
Tell me why your eyes are filled with tears
And I said being alone used to mean nobody else could hear us
Now it only means that she's not here
As the darkness falls the air is filled with solos and duets
Froggy Romeos declare their love to froggy Juliets
Nighthawks callin' out the night is made for passion
The stars are bright, the air is cool and clear
But I said being alone used to mean nobody else could hear us
Now it only means that she's not here
Coyote harmonies still echo as the singing fades away
The loon seems lonely but he swears it really only sounds that way
Whippoorwill says where you been, you used to walk here hand in hand
Whispering in each other's ear
And I said being alone used to mean nobody else could hear us
Now it only means that she's not here
