[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]
