Emmylou Harris - IF YOU WERE A BLUEBIRD (extended version) ♥

IF YOU WERE A BLUEBIRD
If you were a bluebird you'd be a sad one
I'd give you a true word
But you've already had one
If you were a bluebird,
You'd be crying
You'd be flying home
If you were a raindrop,
You'd shine like a rainbow
And if you were a train stop,
The conductor would sing low
If you were a raindrop,
You'd be falling
You'd be calling home
If you were a hotel
Honey, you'd be a grand one
But, if you hit a slow spell,
Do you think you could stand one
If you were a hotel,
Well I'd lean on your doorbell
I'd call you my home
If I was a highway,
I'd stretch alongside you
I'd help you pass by ways
That had dissatisfied you
If I was a highway,
Well I'd be stretchin'
I'd be fetchin' you home.

DA SI BIO PLAVA PTICA
Da sI plava ptica, bio bi tužan
Dala bih ti pravu reč,
Ali već si to imao
Da si plava ptica,
Plakao bi,
Leteo bi kući,
Da si kišna kap,
Sijao bi kao duga
A da si bio stanica za voz,
Kondukter bi tiho pevao,
Da si kišna kap,
Padao bi,
Zvao bi kući
Da si hotel
Dušo, ti bi bio veliki
Ali, ako si i dalje usporen,
Misliš li da bi to mogao podneti?
Da si hotel,
Pa ja bih se naslonila na tvoje zvono,
Ja bih te nazvala svojim domom
Da sam autoput,
Protezala bih se uz tebe
Pomogla bih ti da prođeš,
To te ne bi zadovoljilo
Da sam autoput,
Pa ja bih se izdužila,
Ja bih te odvela kući.

I must be just a gravel road with no passing lane and you're way ahead of me and the dust is shedding on me and for me to catch you I'd have to spread my wings fast my foot got stuck can't press on the gas and I'm not exactly star struck but it seems I've been out of luck though I can't help but love You till my dying day that you could be with me but I guess I'll just wither away and without you I never want to be in love so it seems best to even send my friends away besides it seems I'm just in the way there's not much more I could say other than you're simply beauty to me till my dying day though I'll try to write you once though what good could it do me when not a word could bounce back to me though once off this gravel road I could pass you on the highway going the other way with words like What's it to me im free like a Bluebird... flying my own way... heading home to forever... not taking YOU with me... BUT.... still I can't help to love you..till my dying day.
