Why did you ever leave today?
No you've been miles away
You took a chance leaving at first glance
You can blame it on your circumstances
You set off on a simple lark
Meant to be home long before dark
Now you see that
All is not as it seemed
A fate you can't believe
Then i glimpse you as you lighted near
Cautiously began moving near
And i can't be sure if you can hear me
Now you can rest your tiny feet
Tuck away and rest your tired wings
Now you dream, oh above a degree
Too lovely to believe
Seeking shelter from the wind
It blows with strength that has no end
So small you seem within my hand
You gather strength to leave again
The storm is strong, but you carry on
And now it's gone
Seeking shelter from the wind
It blows with strength that has no end
So small you seem within my hand
You gather strength to leave again
