Bird

[Verse 1] If I was a bird I would fly high over the world Come home at night to your garden Build a nest among the branches And I'll comb your hair with my beak If I was a bird I would count my time in pearls Under my wings you'll find shelter You'll breed bugs and keep me well fed [Chorus] And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly [Verse 2] But you wanted me to be a girl Without feathers, without urge Then my wings quickly disappeared And left was only fear [Chorus] And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly
