The orange was the size of a watermelon to me
well at least is my memory
sunshine made my bare feet burn upon the road
far away we'd roam
I'd be hollarin' 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 signs
Oh the little magic that a solo brings
making up songs and words and singin from the soul
oh the stories told
none and 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
well at least is my memory
sunshine made my bare feet burn upon the road
far away we'd roam
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
fly me high on an angel's wing
Homebird sing
leave out nothing tell me everything
the skys were blue and the grass was green
I wonder how different I might see them now
yet I see them somehow
Oh the little magic that a solo brings
making up songs and words and singin from the soul
oh the stories told
none and him and Jimmy could know
fly me high on an angel's wing
Homebird sing
leave out nothing tell me everything
fly me high on an angel's wing
Homebird sing
leave out nothing tell me everything

this song is beautiful, can't believe nobody has commented on it yet. i think you've left out the first line though, "The orange was the size of a watermelon to me "
I love the tumble along melody and the scenes it paints in my head. :)
his voice is really beautiful :):):).......and u left out the first line !!...'georgie' has already mentioned this!!:):):):):):):)
I added the missing first line of the song, it's too perfect a song not to be complete. Such an amazing song, of course he's got a lot of those.
