about

Nikki and I have driven all over the greater Seattle area to look at birds and see the species richness along the urban gradient. I listened to more of her music on the drives and felt inspired to write this.

lyrics

Birdwatcher
Helps the finches and the flickers
And the ravens and the doves find a home
Birdwatcher
Helps the swallows and the sparrows
And the chickadees who laugh wherever they may roam
You know that she’ll protect them
You know that she’ll watch over them
She’ll make them feel like they’re in heaven

Dog leader
Helps the Labradors and Poodles
Pomeranians and Shepherds find their way
Dog leader
Helps the terriers, Dalmatians,
And everything in between have a happy day
You know that she’ll protect them
You know that she’ll watch over them
She’ll make them feel like they’re in heaven

Treegazer
Helps the birches and the hemlocks
As a heroine to all the evergreens
Treegazer
Helps the apples and the maples
As a savior of all deciduous trees
You know that she’ll protect them
You know that she’ll watch over them

She is loving and she’s kind
And she calls herself mine
My birdwatching, dog-leading, tree-gazing sweet valentine
She makes me feel like I’m in heaven
