The Piano Bird
A bird sings outside my piano
Lark of sweet love singing low
The more I play, the more he sings
He lives right up there in the green trees
Singing to me melodies
And in return I play for him
I played him a song on my piano
Well I played real good
And I played what I could
And in return, he sang for me
He lives right out there in the tree
Giving me his melodies
A bird sings outside my piano
Well I played real good
And I played what I could
And in return, he sang for me
He lives right out there in the tree
Giving me his melodies
A bird sings outside my piano
A bird sings outside my piano
Lark of sweet love singing low
He lives right up there in the green tree
Singing to me melodies
The more I play, the more he sings
A bird sings outside my piano.
Notable for the fact it is the only Doors song ever written by the drummer John Densmore it is actually a rather pleasant tune to listen to.
Sung by keyboard player Ray Manzarek it features a nice flute segment and some cool guitar playing.
Other than that it is a rather weak song with some dubious lyrics that do not approach the standard of either Morrison or Krieger.
Musically it is a fine example of the band exploring a few jazz elements during their final phase of the Full Circle album.
