Cedar waxwings in my persimmon tree
Cedar waxwings in perfect symmetry
We're relaxing, just you and me
Let the waxwings sing

Cedar waxwings, now they're overdue
Cedar waxwings hanging over you
The exact thing that you never knew

They've been away too long
Where have they gone?

Will you fly back to me, will you utter "I will?"
From a tree just like Julia Butterfly Hill
We will drink panther juice, let our chinchillas loose
In the heat of a toasty orange glow

Cedar waxwings in the November skies
Cedar waxwings, they don't remember why
