about

Bird That Has Flown is a light-hearted song about the eternal dance between lads and lasses. Hearts can get hurt in the process, of course, but each part of that dance brings us closer to the one we can really be in love with...

lyrics

Well, a lassie is just like a flower,
pretty rose, she will bloom in the sun.
And a laddie is just like a honey bee
stealing kisses and having his fun.

Chorus: Shed a tear for the bird that has flown.
Breathe a sigh for the blossom that's gone
Sing a song for the lad with the twinklin' eye
Say a prayer that the heart finds a home.

And a bluebird is just like a woman's heart
on the wing with a love song she flies
In the arms of her lover she dreams at night
but the morning sun tells of his lies. Chorus

Now, there once was a laddie that loved me
but the joy that I had is undone
Like a rose in the fall, it has blown away,
like a bluebird in winter, love's gone. Chorus

Oh, there's joy to be found in the courtin'
and there's none if you're standing alone
Well, it's not that I haven't been here before;
I just thought that my heart found a home. Chorus
