Dave Matthews Band - Little Red Bird Lyrics
Little red bird under a chair
Waiting for the crumbs to fall
"Daddy said, 'Get a job'
But, don't you see, daddy, how good I am at catching crumbs?"
Guns and gods and little red birds
General Custer, it's said
Overestimated his abilities to win
Sitting Bull turned the table on him
A comfort to count the battles won after the war is lost
Little red bird
Guns and gods and little red birds
Guns and gods and little red birds
Comfort to count the battles won after the war is lost
Guns and gods and little red birds
Guns and gods and little red birds
Comfort to count the battles won after the war is lost
If there was a place hidden in the stars
Reflected on heaven's graces
If God had an honest face
A troubled expression would be watching the human race
Little red bird

Dave Matthews Band Little Red Bird Comments
If there was a place...
10 years on guys...the most beautiful expression of Dave so far for me. Ten years on...
5 years ago is too long for a comment for this amazing song. So here's another.
Little red birds
Tiny Tina Tinz is the best in the world
Love where we normally miss love. Pay attention folks, its so easy to hug each other but for some reason we're taking the easier route to hate and misunderstand. I feel better when I admit this: I don't hate and would rather not seek revenge on those I vehemently disagree with. It's a challenge as the opposite is the easiest path. We'll see, I'm no saint.

Another solo album Dave! Please!
mix "Blackbird" by the Beatles and "Going to California" by Led Zeppelin together and this brilliance is what you get
If Dave ever has a "last album" that he releases soon which i doubt it... but if he did i really hope it's just little happy songs like this. i mean dont get me wrong, i love seeing Dave go crazy on stage, but cmon, this is good shit right here. i could chill out to stuff like this for so long
@G-ray Jammal " little happy songs like this" - It may sound "mellow" but if you listen to the lyrics, it's far from being a happy little song.
Not bad...why wasn't it on the album?
Probably my favorite song currently.
Original. He never has studio of covers. But yea it sounds a little like the beatles.
is this a cover dave is playing or original?
This is very Peter Gabriel. Love this. Too bad I cannot get this one, Cornbread, #27 and Beach Ball unless I get the special edition boxed sets and European version of this album.
hey i was there too! i forgot about this song til now
dave + Tim played this last night at the oakdale and it was amazing...
Perfect song for watching my St. Louis Cardinals make it to the World Series this year!!!!!
Guns and Gods and little red birds <3 <3 <3
@CraigandDan definately
@aliisthedrummaster absolutely.... thats what I thought of when I heard it for the first time
@WhySoSerious998 Cool!
@Larm2112 yep :)
@WhySoSerious998 yeah? camden Wednesday, June 30, 2010?
where did you get this song?
@Larm2112 i think i was there!
wow just saw this live. Dave came out and told us the story of this song and played it solo. It was really freakin cool.
@aliisthedrummaster: i thought the same thing
This is sick.
Totally agree even the lyrics and daves vocals just remind me of the beatles
And play it they did! I WISH I was at the LV shows. They must have been amazing.
id say it sounds more like goodbye blue sky by pink floyd but thats my opinion. no matter, still a great tune!
thats my favorite lines from this song..)
you can hear a beatle influence here...it sounds similar to junk by paul mccartney
can you PLEASEEE put Cornbread on here!?!?!?!
Can you put the studio version of #27 on here please?
this song grew on me SO much. i hated it at first. i can't get enough of it now.
it came on the bonus disc if you ordered the deluxe edition
Man another beautiful song. It's easy to forget how many great DMB songs that haven't made it to an album. Here's hoping this and Write a Song pop up live from time to time.
