Bird Has Flown
Love's Melancholy Journey: Unveiling the Poignant Tale in 'Bird Has Flown'
Lyrics
Oh the beggar on his cornerstone
The poor person on a street corner
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
Holds sympathy in his aged hand
But the lover whose bird has flown
The person whose lover has left
Catches nothing only grains of sand
Gains nothing, only tiny particles of sand
All the children in the distant house
All the children in a distant house
They have feelings only children know
Experience emotions known only to children
But the lover whose bird has flown
The person whose lover has left
Catches nothing only flakes of snow
Gains nothing, only flakes of snow
The sensation is not new to you
The feeling is familiar to you
It's something we all have known
Something everyone has experienced
You get it - it goes right through you
You understand it deeply, it penetrates through
Yes it's something we all have known
Yes, a shared experience for everyone
And the bird it has flown
The bird has departed
To a place on it's own
To a place of solitude
Somewhere all alone
Somewhere completely alone
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Now the hermit in seclusion
Has himself to keep him company
Keeps himself company
But the lover whose bird has flown
The person whose lover has left
He has heartaches same as you and me
Experiences heartaches, just like anyone else
The sensation's not new to you
The feeling is familiar to you
It's something we all have known
Something everyone has experienced
You get it - it goes right through you
You understand it deeply, it penetrates through
Yes it's something we all have known
Yes, a shared experience for everyone
And the bird it has flown
The bird has departed
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Now the hermit in seclusion
Has himself to keep him company
Keeps himself company
But the lover whose bird has flown
The person whose lover has left
He has heartaches same as you and me
Experiences heartaches, just like anyone else
Oh it's started snowing
It has started snowing
