Bird Has Flown

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Oh, the beggar on his cornerstone

Catches pity in his wrinkled hand

But the lover whose bird has flown

Catches nothing, only grains of sand

[Verse 2]

All the children in the distant house

They have feelings only children know

But the lover whose bird has flown

Catches nothing, only flakes of snow

(Hey)

[Chorus]

The sensation is not new to you

It's something we all have known

You get it, it goes right through you

Yes, it's something we all have known

And the bird, it has flown

To a place on it's own

Somewhere all alone

Hey!

[Verse 3]

Now, the hermit in his lonely cave

Has himself to keep him company

But the lover whose bird has flown

He has heartaches, same as you and me

(Sensation)

[Chorus]

The sensation is not new to you

It's something we all have known

You get it, it goes right through you

Yes, it's something we all have known

And the bird, it has flown

[Verse 4]

Now, the hermit in his lonely cave

Has himself to keep him company

But the lover whose bird has flown

He has heartaches, same as you and me

Oh it's started snowing

Yes, it started snowing
