Firebird

By the storm blown down

She'd a broken wing

When I took her in hoping she'd stay

Milk and honey fed

In a feathered bed

She got well and my love flew away

Firebird

Fly high fly free

I can't hold you down

You're too wild for me

I will search for you

In the nest we knew

But the feathers and straw have gone cold

And at night I dream

You'd come back to me

And your warm body's with me to hold

Firebird

Fly high fly free

I can't hold you down

You're too wild for me

With the break of dawn

All the dream is gone

And I sink once again to the ground

But I'm just as high

In a rut looking up

As I was on a cloud looking down

Firebird

Fly high fly free

I can't hold you down

You're too wild for me
