A songbird lit down upon my window In the evening dusk, her breast all aglow Painted the color of heartbreak Who am I to judge? If sorrow be the bird, then the wind is love Oh well I've had my wings broken a time or two Doesn't mean that I won't try to fly with you A breeze is blowing through the pines Maybe I can trust That sorrow be the bird and the wind is love A songbird, she'll forget how to sing Sittin' too long, yearning for the wind She's gotta breathe in Feel it under wing Maybe we would soar so high Maybe the songbird on the branches of my heart She wouldn't sing so sadly I'll feel it in my blood That sorrow be the bird and the wind is love Sorrow be the bird and the wind is love Sorrow be the bird and the wind is love
