Little Bird

Why don't these problems just go away?

Time should have healed our old heartache

Childhood just would not be overcome

Mistakes that were made could not be undone

I tried my best, but it's too late

Taking care was just my fate

You are still young and free and fun

Break those chains and you can run

Little Bird, why not go live in London?

I heard you have a friend there

Maybe with her you could stay

Little Bird, why not go live in London?

Go out and see the world

Come on, you've never lеft LA

Little Bird, there's such a strеngth inside you

Like a seed waiting for the rain

Little Bird, if the doctor hasn't told you

You are beautiful and so very full of grace

Full of grace, full of grace, full of grace

Full of grace, full of grace, full of grace

Full of grace, full of grace, full of grace

Why don't these problems just go away?

Time should have healed our old heartache

Childhood just would not be overcome

By the grown-ups that we've become

Little Bird, why not go to Paris?

There is a drummer there

I know he took your breath away

Little Bird, why not go to Paris?

See some old paintings

And all those shops in Le Marais

Little Bird, trust your intuition

Don't be scared to let someone inside

Little Bird, our nest was all broken

But spread your wings and know that you can fly

You can fly, you can fly, you can fly

You can fly, you can fly, you can fly

You can fly, you can fly, you can fly

But it's not easy facing the truth

What really happened to you

Feelings of a helpless child

Secret things that you had to hide

Martyr, you suffered more than your share

Your mother said he wouldn't dare

Doors closed, it happened all the time

No one knows, hush now, don't you cry

Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry

Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry

Cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry

Cry, baby, cry, cry, baby, cry

Cry, baby, cry, cry, baby, cry

If you need to cry, cry, baby, cry

If you need to cry

If you need to cry, cry, baby, cry

If you need to cry, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry

Cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry

Cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry

Cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry

Why don't these problems just go away?

Taking care was just my fate

The future is yours, what can you dream?

Don't let the past rule everything

Little Bird, why not go live in London?

I heard you have a friend there

Maybe with her you could stay

Little Bird, how about Mexico City?

Or San Miguel de Allende?

Little bird, how about Vancouver BC

Santa Cruz or Santa Fe?

Or Philadelphia or San Francisco?

Or Minneapolis or Toronto?

Miami, Memphis, Maui pronto

You gotta get away

Bali or Bangkok, Denver or Dallas

Maybe Atlanta or Atlantis

Taipei, Tokyo, Hong Kong or Kansas

Anywhere but LA

Oh little bird, little bird, little bird

You gotta get away

Oh little bird, little bird, little bird

You got to fly away
