Bluebird

Word came through in a letter

One of us changing our minds

You won't need to guess who

Since I usually do not send letters to me that are mine



I told him I saw this coming

That I'd practically packed up my things

I was glad at the time

That I said I was fine

But all honesty knows, I wasn't ready, no



And so here we go, bluebird

Back to the sky on your own

Oh, let him go, bluebird

Ready to fly

You and I

Here we go

Here we go



This pair of wings, worn and rusted

From too many years by my side

They can carry me, swear to be sturdy and strong

But see, turning them on still means goodbye



And so here we go, bluebird

Gather your strength and rise up

Oh, let him go, bluebird

Oh, let him go, bluebird

Oh, let him go, bluebird

Ready to fly

You and I

Here we go

Here we go

Here we go
