BIRD HAS FLOWN (Evans/Blackmore/Lord)
For the beggar on his cornerstone Catches pity in his wrinkled hand But the robber whose bird has flown Catches nothing only grains of sand
All the children in the distant house They have feelings only children know But the robber whose bird has flown Catches nothing only flakes of snow
The sensation's 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
Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the robber whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me
The sensation's 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
Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the robber whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me
Oh same as you and me Yes he's got 'em started.
