Bird Of Passage

There's a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart There's tears in my eyes, 'cos we're an ocean apart There's nothing quite as real as being on my own Nothing quite as true as being all alone This bird has flown But when the summer has passed she'll come back home Love, come wing your way Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay Love, come wing your way Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me May you stay with me forever With the change of seasons, she flies her nest And like the sun at dusk, she sets to the west Loneliness is the cross I bear Solitude is the cloak I wear I miss you, I need you, I love you When the autumn comes I'll be waiting for you Love, come wing your way Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay Love, come wing your way Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me May you stay with me forever Forever, forever, forever
