The way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
A tall oak tree alone and cryin'
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
Now a woman, Lord, is like a young bird
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart
Among his boughs you'll find her nesting
When the nights are cool, she's warm and dry
The coat of green, it will protect her
Her wings will grow, your love will too
But all too soon your mighty branches
Will cease to hold her and she'll fly from you
ย
Had I wings to fly
I would follow you
If you would wait for me
I would fly away
I would fly away
