Little bird on the tree you better fly If you stay on that tree you're gonna die Little bird of the forest say to me Why happiness just can never be Who put the poison in the dart That hurts my soul and kills my heart That made my whole life fall apart It smashed in parts and breaks my heart And haunts my dreams and breaks my heart
The forest I loved went up in flames And now the fire has gone to rain And now the rain has gone to stream Where's my love, my long lost dream The ashes flew away And scattered far away And where is my love, little bird didn't say
Little bird on the tree you better fly Little bird of the sky you better fly If you stay on that tree your gonna die Little bird get away, take to the skies Go find a love that never dies Where is my love, my only soul That used to laugh and sing along That used to light up, cheer my life That used to light up my poor heart That used to light up all the dark
Where's my path, [it] was washed away Where are my tracks, erased by rain Where's my house, the river claimed Where's my love, my soul refrained My love has gone away And flew and flew astray And where is my love that the wind took away
Sudden bird came to rest but high it flew Sudden bird flapped a shot and winged the blue Sudden bird of the forest say to me Why happiness just can never be Go ask the Lord, heavens above What ever happened to my love What ever happened to my love Go ask the saddest morning dove What ever happened to my love
The bright morning light was burned by day The day grew old and spent my day The sun went down and twilight came And sudden night was back again The moon across the sky Grew dim and hid away Then it was so cold when the star brought the day
Little bird of the sky you better fly Little bird of the sky you better fly You fly, fly, fly, fly
