It was something like a window When I would look into his eyes There was no horizon afar He took me across the world From a tiny tabletop From mulberry to Bangkok I'd hoped nothing could take us under But I sighed Oh how sad it seemed its been over from the start Oh oh oh Birdie don't fly away, birdie don't fly away Oh oh oh Birdie don't fly away, birdie don't fly away Missed you long before you'd part Cause you were never mine to have I'd soar through the heights of A skyless flight And they started coming back Nightmares I used to have They Keep me company at night My heart rolled something like the thunder, and I Cried like, I could never recover from that Oh oh oh Birdie don't fly away, birdie don't fly away Oh oh oh Birdie don't fly away, birdie don't fly away
