Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little bird on the tree, you better fly
If you stay on that tree, you're gonna die
Little bird of the forest say to me
Why happiness just can never be
Who put the poison in the dark?
That hurts my soul and kills my heart
That made my whole life fall apart
This passion hurts and breaks my heart
And haunts my dreams and breaks my heart
[Verse 2]
The forest I loved went up in flame
And now the fire has gone to rain
And now the rain has gone to stream
Where is my love, my long lost dream?
[Verse 3]
The ashes flew away
And scattered far away
And where is my love? Little bird didn't say
[Verse 4]
Little bird on the tree, you better fly
Little bird of the sky, you better fly
If you stay on that tree, you're gonna die
Little bird, get away, take to the sky
Go find a love that never dies
Where is my love, my only song?
That used to laugh and sing along
That used to light up, cheer my life
That used to light up my poor heart
That used to light up all the dark
[Verse 5]
Where's my path that washed away?
Where are my tracks you raised by rain?
Where's my house the river claimed?
Where is my love, my soul refrained?
[Verse 6]
My love has gone away
And flew, and flew astray
And where is my love that the wind took away?
[Verse 7]
Sudden bird came to rest, but high, it flew
Sudden bird fled the shot and wing the blue
Sudden bird of the forest say to me
Why happiness just can never be?
Go ask the Lord, heavens above
What ever happened to my love?
What ever happened to my love?
Go ask the saddest moon enough
What ever happened to my love?
[Verse 8]
The bright morning light was burned by day
The day grew old, I've spent my day
The sun went down and twilight came
And sudden night was back again
[Verse 9]
The moon across the sky
Grew dim and hid away
And it was cold when the star brought the day
Little bird of the sky, you better fly
Little bird of the sky, you better fly
You fly, you fly, fly, fly
