Lyrics
Love is a fragile bird
Love is delicate and vulnerable, akin to a fragile bird.
So quick to fly away
Love can easily disappear or end abruptly.
I've seen her take wing in a moment
Witnessing love taking flight suddenly, perhaps unexpectedly.
On the brightest of days
Even on the happiest days, love can vanish swiftly.
Up to the heavens she's soaring
Love soaring to great heights, beyond the reach of desire.
Out of the grasp of desire
Desire is unable to hold onto or control love.
No promises see her returning
No assurances of love's return; it's unpredictable.
Passion is too hot a fire
Passion is a dangerous force, possibly causing the departure of love.
I've held a fragile bird in my arms
Experiencing the fragility of love by holding it close.
She sang the sweetest song I've heard
Love expresses itself through a beautiful and poignant song.
I never meant to do her no harm
No intention to harm love, but it ended without explanation.
Now she's gone without a word
Love's departure was silent, leaving without communication.
Love is a fragile bird
Reiteration of love's vulnerability and delicacy.
Flying up over the rainbow
Love ascending beyond ordinary experiences.
Tears in the sky fall like rain
Tears symbolize the emotional pain associated with love's departure.
Lookin' back over her shoulder
Looking back at the past, moving away from emotional suffering.
Flying away from the pain
Love escaping to avoid pain or discomfort.
I never meant to hurt her
No intention to cause harm to love, but it happened unintentionally.
I never thought she'd say goodbye
Unexpected goodbye, contrary to the speaker's expectations.
But she'd heard all of the words before
Love had heard similar words before, becoming prepared to leave.
Her heart was ready to fly
Love's departure was imminent; her heart was ready for a new journey.
I've held a fragile bird in my arms
Reiteration of holding love, the sweetness of her song, and unintended harm.
She sang the sweetest song I've heard
Love's expression through a beautiful song was memorable.
I never meant to do her no harm
No malicious intent, yet love departed without explanation.
Now she's gone without a word
Love's departure was silent and without verbal communication.
Love is a fragile bird
Final emphasis on the vulnerability and fragility of love.
My love is a fragile bird
Personalizing love as the speaker's own delicate and vulnerable experience.
