The Bird's Song
My little bird,
She just loves to fly.
Please close the window
So she can't reach the sky.
My little bird,
She mourns like a widow.
I'll give her a cage
So she can't reach the window.
My little bird,
She grows restless with age.
I'll trim all her feathers
So she'll stay in her cage.
My little bird,
Won't you sing me a song?
They used to warm my heart,
But not in so long.
My little bird,
Is it because of your feathers?
I'll let them grow back now,
If we can just sing together.
My little bird,
Is it due to the cage, dear?
I'll throw it out tomorrow,
If you give me something to hear.
My little bird,
Is it because of the window?
I'll open it now,
But please just don't go.
My little bird
Has taken to wing.
Now that she's gone,
I can finally hear her sing.
