Fly away little bird Any place in this open mouthed world Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest Everyone's got a need to go Most of us stick with our row to hoe But not you, you're the black crow With a straight line, and no time For the birds of prey who wreck your nest Twice your size steal your best They set you on this course of your collision I am a stop along your way I am the words you'll never say I crossed the great beyond of fear I opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view You went there too Fly away little bird Find the song in you that no one's heard Strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight Through this short life Everyone's got a deep regret We try to ground ourselves to forget But your race to the end is neck and neck You love them, you love them not The birds of prey who wreck your nest Twice your size steal your best They set you on this course of your collision I am a stop along your way I am the words you'll never say I crossed the great beyond of fear Opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view And you went there too But all along your chosen path are Window panes and sheets of glass That you won't see You fly too fast One day it will be over Fly away little bird The saddest song I ever heard Was the one that I wrote you in my heart That never made it to the world
