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.

Told you I saw this coming
That I'd practically packed up my things
Was glad at the time that I'd 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
Like a carnival ride in the rain
They can carry me swear to be
Sturdy and strong but see
Turning them on still causes me pain.

Leave my love in a letter
Went to the best on your side
Fine gathered my things, I'll make the best of these wings
And me and my bird take to the sky.

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...
