Lyrics:
I’m a house wren
Hunting for a house
I haven’t found one
I’m on the lookout
For a home to call my own
A private residence
Through the grapevine
I heard an empty gourd
Is hanging up somewhere
On some old lady’s porch
I’ll pack my bags and off I’ll go
To my new humble abode
I’m gonna sing
At the top of my lungs
Cuz it’s a beautiful day
I’m gonna spread my wings
Cuz as far as I know
I am halfway home
I'm a house wren
Who needs a summer home
A country farmhouse or
A quiet bungalow
Not too big, not too small
First-rate real estate
I got my eyes peeled
For a window box
An old tin can, a boot
Or a flower pot
I’ll pack my bags and off I’ll go To my new humble abode
I’m gonna sing
At the top of my lungs
Cuz it’s a beautiful day
I’m gonna spread my wings
Cuz as far as I know
I am halfway home
I’m a house wren
Still hunting for a house
But I got a song and
A lot to sing about
I’ll pack my bags and off I’ll go
Because, you know
I’m gonna sing
At the top of my lungs
Cuz it’s a beautiful day
I’m gonna spread my wings
I’m on top of the world
And it’s a beautiful thing
I’m gonna sing
At the top of my lungs
Cuz it’s a beautiful day
I’m gonna spread my wings
Cuz as far as I know
I am halfway home
I am halfway home
I am halfway home

Every song has either a water reference, a sky reference, an insomnia/sleep reference, or a astrology/space reference. And his name is partly a sky reference and partly a nod to his insomnia, which is what partly caused him to get into writing and piano, because thats how he'd spend his time awake.

For those wondering about the backstory of this song: "House Wren is a song about the summers I would spend at my grandparent’s house in Iowa when I was a kid. My grandfather used to hang hollowed-out vegetable gourds on the back porch and the wrens would live in them. I found myself wondering what it would be like for a house wren looking for the perfect home.”

Last summer, I had a house wren who moved into my decorated bird house (it wasn't made for building a nest since it had three holes) anyway, the wren didn't give up and made it work! The house wren sang cause he had a family to call home and eventually we saw adorable baby wrens as they grew up fast and left their summer home to come back again next year :)
