Like a bird on the wing [Am] [G] Like a melody you can't quite sing [F] [Am] Like a cloud going by [C] [G] [C] She's a whisper she's a tear in my eye
[Am] [C] Like a drop of dew in the morning sun [Am] [G] Like a rumour she's on the run [F] [Am] Like a leaf dropping from a tree [C] [G] [C] She ain't fallin' she's flying free
Chorus [C] [Am] [F] [C] She's a river and she's already gone [C] [Em] [F] She's a river she's headed further on [C] [Em] [F] Water seeks its level running to the sea [C] [G] [C] She's a river she's flowing away from me
Like a dream you can't recall You're not sure who was there at all It seems so clear now its fading fast You watch the future become the past
Chorus
Like a song floating in the sky You gotta try to grab it as it passes by If you don't catch it its lost in the wind That one ain't coming round again
