GCGC
Fly away little bird, any place in this open-mouthed world
GDCD
begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest
GCGC
Everyone's got a need to go, most of us stick with our row to hoe
EmDCD
but not you, you're the black crow, with a straight line, and no time, for the
CDGC
birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best, they
CAmD
sent you on this course of your collision
GDCD
I am a stop along your way, I am the words you'll never say, I crossed the
GDAmD
great beyond of fear, opened my eyes, and saw us there
CD
what a view, you went there too
GCGC
Fly away little bird, find the song in you that no one's heard
GDCD
strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight, through this short life
GCGC
everyone's got a deep regret, we try to ground ourselves to forget
GDCD
but your race to the end is neck and neck, you love them, you love them not
CDGC
the birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best
CAmD
they sent you on this course of your collision
GDCD
I am a stop along your way, I am the words you'll never say
GDAmD
I crossed the great beyond of fear, opened my eyes, and saw us there
CD
what a view, you went there too
CGCG
And all along your chosen path, are window panes and sheets of glass
CG
that you won't see, you fly too fast
CD
one day it will be over
GCGC
Fly away little bird, the saddest song I ever heard
GD
was the one that I wrote you in my heart
CD
that never made it to the world
