Pretty bird, pretty bird
Why you so still?
Pretty bird, pretty bird
We've been waiting on you
You go west for the black setting sun
You go south to the white spirit world
You go east for those real green eyes
You go north, walk the good red road
Pretty bird
There's a mirror in heaven
Pretty bird, pretty bird
There's a window on earth
You go west for the black setting sun
You go south to the white spirit world
You go east for those real green eyes
You go north, walk the good red road
Pretty bird
Some pity me, yeah
Oh, pity me, yeah
Stars pity me
For the blood of the pretty
The blood of the pretty
The blood of the pretty bird
Pretty bird, pretty bird
Who's starving you still?
You go west for the black setting sun
You go south to the white spirit world
You go east for those real green eyes
You go north, walk the good red road
Pretty bird
Why you so still?
Pretty bird, pretty bird
We've been waiting on you
You go west for the black setting sun
You go south to the white spirit world
You go east for those real green eyes
You go north, walk the good red road
Pretty bird
There's a mirror in heaven
Pretty bird, pretty bird
There's a window on earth
You go west for the black setting sun
You go south to the white spirit world
You go east for those real green eyes
You go north, walk the good red road
Pretty bird
Some pity me, yeah
Oh, pity me, yeah
Stars pity me
For the blood of the pretty
The blood of the pretty
The blood of the pretty bird
Pretty bird, pretty bird
Who's starving you still?
You go west for the black setting sun
You go south to the white spirit world
You go east for those real green eyes
You go north, walk the good red road
Pretty bird

Without having heard the story behind the song, my take is that it's a about a tender sensitive soul that is not being cared for properly or being treated well. "for the blood of the pretty" and "Who's starving you still?" are key phrases for me. Beautiful song.
