Little Weaver Bird Lyrics


Little weaver bird, sitting sadly in the tree,
take my good advice and forget your misery.
Your tears are all in vain and regret can be absurd.
Little weaver bird, get weaving.The year is going by, and the season's getting on,
don't you think it's time to build yourself a home?
She blinked her brilliant eye, I don't even think she heard.
Little weaver bird, get weaving.Your children will arrive, and expect a downy bed,
for everything alive needs a place to lay its head.
She looked at me and sighed, but she never said a word.
Little weaver bird, get weaving.
Oh, I can sympathize with a heart that is distressed,
but every bird who's wise will build herself a nest.
She looked at me and sighed, then a miracle occurred:
the little weaver bird got weaving.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mary Lloyd (1916–1993), also known as Molly, was the mother of Nick Drake. In 1934, she met Rodney Drake, and they were married in 1937. Molly gave birth to Nick in 1948. She was an accomplished poet and songwriter. Her poetry is somewhat maudlin but beautiful. Her compositions for piano are marked by the same looping style that characterized her son Nick's guitar work. Her daughter Gabrielle asserts that her mother's work is unquestionably a strong influence on Nick's work.
