Little Bird lyrics

O Rosie

Where have you been

I couldn't save you

But I tried, Rosie

I tried

Why did you run

From everyone

Who only tried to

Love you, Rosie

Only tried

Little bird, if I only knew

Maybe I'd be more like you

With a feather in my wing

Is it spring?

Do I sing?

Why do you run

From everyone

Who only tries to

Love you, only tries...

Maybe I like pleasure pain

Of going and coming back again

What I leave behind

I come back to find

It's no longer mine

So why not run

From everyone

Who only tries to

Love you, Rosie, only tries...

Little bird, if I only knew

Maybe I'd be more like you

With a feather in my wing

Is it spring?

Do I sing?

Maybe I like pleasure pain

Of going and coming back again

What I leave behind

I come back to find

It's no longer mine

Little bird, if I only knew

Maybe I'd be more like you

With a feather in my wing

Is it spring?

Do I sing?
