The way I feel is like a robin |
|
Whose babes have flown to come no more |
|
A tall oak tree alone and cryin' |
|
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare |
|
|
|
Now a woman Lord is like a young bird |
|
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart |
|
Among its boughs you'll find her nesting |
|
When the nights are cool she's warm and dry |
|
|
|
Your coat of green will protect her |
|
Her wings will grow your love will too |
|
But all too soon your mighty branches |
|
Will cease to hold her she'll fly from you |
|
|
|
Now the way I feel is like a robin |
|
Whose babes have flown to come no more |
|
A tall oak tree alone and cryin' |
|
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare |
|
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare |
