Bird Has Flown

[Intro] 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 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] And the bird it has flown To a place on it's own Somewhere all alone [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 1] And the bird it has flown [Chorus 2] [Outro] Oh it's started snowing
