Pretty Bird

Fly away, little pretty bird Fly, fly away Fly away, little pretty bird And pretty you'll always stay I see in your eyes a promise Your own tender love you'll bring But fly away, little pretty bird Cold runneth the spring Love's own tender flames warm this meeting And love's tender song you sing But fly away, little pretty bird And pretty you'll always sing I cannot make you no promise Love is such a delicate thing Fly away, little pretty bird For he'd only clip your wings Fly far beyond this dark mountain To where you'll be free evermore Fly away, little pretty bird Where the cold winter winds don't blow
