lyrics

Wildbird © Freda Leask

It's never easy to say goodbye
It's never easy to watch you as you cry
There's always freedom where the wildbird flies
But you can't take me with you when you go

Reachin' heaven, touch the blue
Soul escape, everything is new
We breathe the same air, me and you
But you can't take me with you when you go

Like a melody you soar where you please
No words to tie you down or bring you to your knees
A voice defying borders, a voice that never lies
Shaken with the early dawn to fly in amber skies

Like a melody you soar where you please
No words to tie you down or bring you to your knees
I'm a wildbird in the desert, among abandoned ruins
I lie alone, each night and think of you

It's never easy to say goodbye
It's never easy to watch you as you cry
There's always freedom where the wildbird flies
But you can't take me with you when you go
You can't take me with you when you go
