| [00:23.58] |
Oh the beggar on his cornerstone |
| [00:27.23] |
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand |
| [00:31.05] |
But the lover whose bird has flown |
| [00:34.92] |
Catches nothing only grains of sand |
| [00:38.20] |
|
| [00:44.62] |
All the children in the distant house |
| [00:48.31] |
They have feelings only children know |
| [00:52.09] |
But the lover whose bird has flown |
| [00:55.99] |
Catches nothing only flakes of snow |
| [01:01.00] |
|
| [01:06.20] |
The sensation is not new to you |
| [01:10.21] |
It's something we all have known |
| [01:13.88] |
You get it it goes right through you |
| [01:17.60] |
Yes it's something we all have known |
| [01:22.28] |
And the bird it has flown |
| [01:25.80] |
To a place on it's own |
| [01:29.37] |
Somewhere all alone |
| [01:34.72] |
|
| [01:41.86] |
Now the hermit in his lonely cave |
| [01:45.45] |
Has himself to keep him company |
| [01:49.27] |
But the lover whose bird has flown |
| [01:53.24] |
He has heartaches same as you and me |
| [01:57.48] |
|
| [02:03.36] |
The sensation's not new to you |
| [02:07.33] |
It's something we all have known |
| [02:10.99] |
You get it it goes right through you |
| [02:14.71] |
Yes it's something we all have known |
| [02:19.73] |
And the bird it has flown |
| [02:23.20] |
|
| [02:28.01] |
Now the hermit in his lonely cave |
| [02:31.68] |
Has himself to keep him company |
| [02:35.47] |
But the lover whose bird has flown |
| [02:39.23] |
He has heartaches same as you and me |
| [02:44.06] |
Oh it's started snowing |
| [02:47.73] |
Yes it's started snowing oh |
| [02:52.02] |
