(Emmylou Harris/Kate McGarrigle/Anna McGarrigle)
If I had a bird a little bird
I would teach that bird to sing your name
Prettiest song that you have ever heard
And your indifferent heart I will claim
So be off my little bird
Fly away, fly away
And when my love you see
Only then my little bird
Cry away, cry away and bring that heart to me
If I had a moon in the sky
I would light the world and pull the tide
And when the moon is full like my heart
It will surely pull you to my side
But in the darkest night I pine away
Pine away until your face I see
So throw your light my lovely moon
Shine away, shine away and pull his heart to me ''
If l had a wagon made of gold
Pretty painted horses numbered four
With a silver harness I would hitch them up
And drive that wagon to your door
And if my hand you choose to hold
Ride away, ride away with the pretty horses four
But darlin' if you heart's still cold
Hide away, hide away ril trouble you no more
Trouble you no more
The lyrics LITTLE BIRD of EMMYLOU HARRIS is also present in the album Stumble into grace (2003)
Emmylou Harris è una cantautrice statunitense nata in Alabama nel 1947. Considerata una delle figure più influenti della musica country degli anni '70 e successivi, ha saputo combinare elementi folk, country e rock in un sound unico. La sua carriera musicale ha preso una svolta importante nel 1971 quando Chris Hillman, membro dei Byrds e dei Flying Burrito Band, l'ha presentata a Gram Parsons, pioniere del country-rock. Harris ha collaborato con Parsons per il suo album di debutto *GP* e per il successivo *Grievous Angel*, considerato uno dei capolavori del genere. Dopo la tragica morte di Parsons nel 1973, Harris ha continuato a insegnare una carriera di successo, pubblicando numerosi album di grande successo, tra cui *Pieces of the Sky* (1975), *Luxury Liner* (1977) e *White Flowers* (1981). Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi si ricordano *Boulder to Birmingham*, *Red Dirt Girl* e *The Maker*. Emmylou Harris è stata insignita di numerosi premi, tra cui 14 Grammy Awards.
