Biography:
Josh Joplin Group was an American Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

Dear winter bird

How long can you last

Before it gets too cold
Bb F
And the earth asks you back

Dear bended bough
Bb F
I'm ready for the sun
Dm C
The old man is leaving
Bb F
And a longer day's begun
[Chorus]

Suddenly I can see blue skies again

Birch trees are bones
Bb F
Stripped of their leaves

Of my memories

Is ready for the spring

Open up my window

Winter bird take wing
