Winds fold around you like they did before,
|
Does your flying astound your new bird?
|
Feathers unrolling and truly so free,
|
To catch the wind shadow as once you caught me.
|
|
Oh, while the heather¡¯s brown, still do the rivers run bright,
|
As bright silver ribbons that capture the light.
|
Unfold you, unwind, like old new things, you¡¯re blind.
|
Does your flying astound your new bird?
|
|
Broken the tether, harsh winds on bright feather,
|
You¡¯re stronger than smoke and you¡¯re pale as the air.
|
|
The big skies surround you, now wait till they found you,
|
With your bold and black shadow still follows everywhere.
|
|
No fear ever after, no fear, only laughter,
|
And smiles where the sunshine¡¯s so far away from here.
|
|
Oh, you pressure¡¯s still to me and your words still anew me,
|
But your golden heart¡¯s flown just as sure as I shed every tear.
|
|
Fly bright and sun¡¯s rising, fly bright and fly away,
|
My fondling darling, my precious bright bird.
|
|
Love may sustain you in the places she takes you,
|
But remember our love and remember the silence we shared.
|
|
Winds fold around you like they did before,
|
Does your flying astound your new bird?
|
Feathers unrolling and truly so free,
|
To catch the wind shadow as once you caught me.
