Wounded I fell from the sky
|
You fed me right from your hand
|
Once a small frightened dove
|
Now the falcon on your glove
|
Strong enough to fly should you command me
|
|
But let me stay,
|
Please try to get to know me
|
I can find my way
|
To loving you will show me
|
And then one day
|
Just this side of forever
|
You might hold me
|
So I never fly away
|
|
Oh I need you
|
|
But if you ask me to leave
|
And I should cling to your sleeve
|
Then just wave me goodbye
|
And away I will fly
|
To circle high above you when I leave you
|
|
repeat chorus
|
|
|
|
|

this side of forever
