Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky

Nightingale, hovering high
Harmonize the wind
Darkness, your symphony
I can hear you sing
Of voices in the sky

Just what is happening to me
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me

Old man, passing by
Tell me what you sing
Though your voice be faint
I am listening
Voices in the sky

Children with a skipping rope
Tell me what you sing
Play time is nearly gone
The bell's about to ring
Voices in the sky

Just what is happening to me
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me

Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky
Voices in the sky
Voices in the sky
Voices in the sky

MB's have to be acknowledged for the time period in which they produced their music.  Summer of Love, war, corruption in politics.  They gave all of us a chance to be able to feel that there were other things that we could focus on.

That’s why there’s a skip button. To each his/her own. 


Just another person who has no conception of music.  Oh well..

As always, whenever I hear a Moody Blues song I'm set to wondering whether they're the worst band in rock history, or only one of the worst. On more charitable days, I think that no one can match the exquiste ineptitude of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. But then I hear a song as odious as this one, and I'm set to wondering all over again.

Since you misspelled the name of the song, I don’t think you listened very much to it.

When I was young I always thought of the MB's as being a band for old people. Now I am old and I like their music very much. So I guess I was right back then. 

I was quite young when I discovered their music. Loved it then - love it now. The seven albums between 1967 and 1972 were like an unfinished symphony that just kept expanding and exploring an incredible vision. And now in 2026 Justin is the only one still alive.

I have been enjoying the MB's since 1970 , they were a band you could listen to and be inspired, all the years of listening  I feel the same today.  Only wish some of there recordings were better quality for todays high tech listening machines. Every album of theirs is filled with quality songs, for inspiring listening

Well, that was worth sharing...not! Considering it's a completely different song, it bares no resemblance to this track

I've heard of fans being so enamored with the MB's that one guy jumped though a skylight just to be with them. I saw them at Maple Leaf Gardens back in ... well , I was very stoned.

He was so fed up he left before he even got there.

…..I was born in '77 and always thought I understood the mystic power of the MBs, they being one of my favorite bands and all...at least with my understanding of their mystic power I can mentally time travel to 1964 and hear all of this brand new....Long Live RP and mystic power!!

Went to see Justin Hayward several weeks ago and he played this song, along with many other MB tunes. He's still got it. Very good concert. Great band...then and now.

Left what - the room?  Trower was with Procol Harum, not the Moody Blues.  Maybe you were thinking of Denny Laine?
