There’s a songbird
Clinging to a telephone wire
She’s lost her mate
Her heart’s on fire
Too sad to sing
Way too blue to fly
She’s caught
Between forever and goodbye.
There’s a sail-away sparrow
With his own desire
Destined to soar
Higher and higher
Away, away
Leave the sheltering hills behind
Gonna fly away forever
And never even say goodbye.
She says I want you and I need you
And I want you to stay
And I want you to need me
Every night and day
Restore my song
Make me strong enough to fly
Together we’ll soar
Between forever and goodbye.
