Bye Bye Bird


You want to spread your wings and fly

Away from me across the sky

You want to soar so very high

So high it makes the eagles cry

 

And it’s not for me to make you stay

Just leave me here alone to say

 

Chorus:

Bye, bye bird

Bye, bye bird,

Bye, bye bird

 

And here I stay upon the ground

Without your love to be around

I watch you fade beyond the clouds

I’m left behind among the crowds

 

Of those who cannot comprehend

Why love like ours could ever end

 

Chorus:

Bye, bye bird

Bye, bye bird,

Bye, bye bird

 

Bridge:

How can the sky be so unkind

To claim the love I thought was mine?

If only I had wings to fly

To soar along with graceful birds

No need to utter useless words

That only bind me to the Earth below

The air would lift me past the doubts

Concealed among the endless clouds

No need for me to cry aloud…..

 

Chorus:

Bye, bye bird

Bye, bye bird

Bye, bye bird

Notes: This is another song that came to me in a dream, this time the refrain was being sung to me by The Beatles, George Harrison singing lead, I think. I again woke up and wrote the rest of the song. The second song I played electronic drums on.
