Across The Border: The Fool And The Bird

Fly away my little bird,
spread your wings and fly away
fly away my pretty bird, on a cold winters day
fly away my little bird,
sing this song with tears in my eyes
fly away my pretty bird,
while a blue sky turns grey

Fly away my little bird,
to the green fields of your home
fly away my pretty bird,
to the isle where the sea wind blows
fly away my little bird,
keep our memories in your heart
fly away my pretty bird and bring me back a rose

Give a fool a kiss and he will follow you
he will follow you to the shores of your land
give a fool another one and he will die
on a broken heart your picture in his hand

Fly, fly, fly...

Fly away myl ittle bird and believe in your sands
fly away my pretty bird, fly away don't look back
fly away my little bird and carry on with your dreams
fly away my pretty bird, I will carry your flag

No words in this life that express how I feel
'cause I felt in love head over heals
close your eyes and remember the crack of last December
close your eyes, dance to the feel

Your voice is still around, still in my ears
a song about a young queen and a soldiers fears
I tried to sing along, along to the song
but out of me came just tears

Each single word reminds me of the seven days we had
no I don't need a letter no I don't need a card
I close my eyes, what do I see?
"A pretty bird, on a tree"
you are still in my heart

Fly away my little bird,
keep on laughing about this world
fly away my pretty bird,
with a smile on your face
fly away my little bird
and sing the bird song of freedom
fly away my pretty bird,
conquer the world with your grace
with your grace...
