Bluebird

BLUEBIRD

Like a bluebird lost at sea
Must fly above the crest
Ever since my heart left home
He hasn't had no rest
Lullabies, and cradle days,
And mother's arms I miss
But nothing from my yesterdays
Has haunted me like this

You were my asylum
How could I leave your hold?
Will you take me back inside
Or must I brave the cold?

I've been told that love can change
Though tended every day
For all I know, love comes and goes
Just when you look away
I'm afraid, yes, always so afraid
That one day ours will fade
But what a fool to turn from you
While we still had it made

You were my religion
Now I am profaned
Without you near
My world's severe
My glass, all sorrow-stained

Girl, you know I love you
I love you to the bone
So, take this broken heart of mine
And wing your bluebird home
