Bird Of Passage

There's a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart
There's tears in my eyes 'cos we're an ocean apart
There's nothing quite as real as being on my own
Nothing quite as true as being all alone

This bird has flown
But when the summer has passed
She'll come back home

Love, come wing your way
Sweet bird of passage
Come home to stay

Love, come wing your way
Sweet bird of passage
Come home to lay with me
May you stay with me forever

With the change of seasons
She flies her nest
And like the sun at dusk
She sets to the west

Loneliness is the cross I bear
Solitude is the cloak I wear
I miss you, I need you, I love you
When the autumn comes, I'll be waiting for you

Love, come wing your way
Sweet bird of passage
Come home to stay

Love, come wing your way
Sweet bird of passage
Come home to lay with me
May you stay with me forever

Forever
Forever
Forever
