"Watch the sky for my return," Said the little bird to her lover As she took to her wing And he started to sing, "I'm gonna wait for you I'm gonna wait right here 'Cause I love you so, I love you all my years"
And so she flew Into the sky Into a darkness That was penetrated By not a single light It was the dead of night And the wind it blew And the rain is fell And the thunder crashed And the little bird as well
And all the while her lover sang, "Come back to me, Come back to me again"
"'Cause I will pull every star from the sky I will harpoon the moon And drag it, wailing, from the starless night I will set fire to the hills And I'll grind their dusty bones If you don't arrive"
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-da-ba-da-da Ba ba ba ba ba ba-da-ba-da-da Ba da ba ba da ba da la da da da da da Ba ba ba ba ba ba-da-ba-da-da Ba ba ba ba ba ba-da-ba-da-da Ba da ba ba da ba da la da da da da da
And so he peers Into the sky And he feels the weight of every heavy minute As it hits his life And he wants to cry But instead he sings "Come back to me, Come back to me, Come back to me alright" But instead he sings "Come back to me, Come back to me, Come back to me tonight"
"'Cause I will pull every star from the sky I will harpoon the moon And drag it, wailing, from the starless night I will set fire to the hills And I'll grind their dusty bones If you don't arrive. And I will rage, With the fury of the sea I will tear the mountains down I will make the whole world bleed I'll send us crashing to the sun I will destroy everything So return to me"
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-da-ba-da-da Ba ba ba ba ba ba-da-ba-da-da Ba da ba ba da ba da la da da da da da Ba ba ba ba ba ba-da-ba-da-da Ba ba ba ba ba ba-da-ba-da-da Ba da ba ba da ba da la da da da da da
And so he peers Into the sky And he wonders if he's ever gonna see his lover in his life She hasn't arrived But as he peers into the deepest blue There's something winging to him There's something up there In the sky
