Fly away little bird |
|
Any place in this open mouthed world |
|
Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest |
|
Everyone's got a need to go |
|
Most of us stick with our row to hoe |
|
But not you, you're the black crow |
|
With a straight line, and no time |
|
For the birds of prey who wreck your nest |
|
Twice your size steal your best |
|
They set you on this course of your collision |
|
I am a stop along your way |
|
I am the words you'll never say |
|
I crossed the great beyond of fear |
|
I opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view |
|
You went there too |
|
Fly away little bird |
|
Find the song in you that no one's heard |
|
Strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight |
|
Through this short life |
|
Everyone's got a deep regret |
|
We try to ground ourselves to forget |
|
But your race to the end is neck and neck |
|
You love them, you love them not |
|
The birds of prey who wreck your nest, |
|
Twice your size steal your best |
|
They set you on this course of your collision |
|
I am a stop along your way |
|
I am the words you'll never say |
|
I crossed the great beyond of fear |
|
Opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view |
|
And you went there too |
|
But all along your chosen path are |
|
Window panes and sheets of glass |
|
That you won't see |
|
You fly too fast |
|
One day it will be over |
|
Fly away little bird |
|
The saddest song I ever heard |
|
Was the one that I wrote you in my heart |
|
That never made it to the world |
