Firebird

By the storm blown down She'd a broken wing When I took her in hoping she'd stay Milk and honey fed In a feathered bed She got well and my love flew away Firebird Fly high, fly free I can't hold you down You're too wild for me I will search for you In the nest we knew But the feathers and straw have gone cold And at night I dream You'd come back to me And your warm body's with me to hold Firebird Fly high, fly free I can't hold you down You're too wild for me With the break of dawn All the dream is gone And I sink once again to the ground But I'm just as high In a rut looking up As I was on a cloud looking down Firebird Fly high, fly free I can't hold you down You're too wild for me
