Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was young I would go out with the hunters
In the woodlands and forests
Where the pheasants make their homes
And we would carry our flags and our whistles
And drive those poor birds
Straight into the guns
[Chorus]
I saw the red flags rising
Rising over the fields
Little birds gonna fly, fly away
There were feathers in the ditches
And the hunters hot at their heels
Little birds gonna fly, fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
[Instrumental]
When I was grown up I would play out with the hunters
In the bars and the clubs and the dives all over town
And they'd buy me red wine in return for special favors
Roll down the window
I'd let my guard down
[Chorus]
I saw the red flags rising
Rising over the fields
Little birds gonna fly, fly away
There were feathers in the ditches
And blisters on my heels
Little birds gonna fly, fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
[Instrumental]
Now I am older, I can feel the hunters
Waving their flags, blowing their whistles in my head
Now I can tell that they're only trying to scare me
It's only a whistle, it's only a flag of red
[Chorus]
But I feel those red flags rising
Rising over the fields
Little birds gonna fly, fly away
There are feathers in the ditches
And I know just how that feels
Little birds gonna fly, fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
Oh, I wish I could fly away
