The bird takes off and enjoys flight
Stay I will find you, I hear your call
My love for you in all it's might

Eyes become closed against shattered light
The ship battered with upcoming squall,
The bird takes off and enjoys flight

But for you, love, I will fight
Your arm protects, like a shawl
My love for you in all it's might

Although us together now looks out of sight
Harsh pain exposed to all,
The bird takes off and enjoys flight

But with one last twist of knife
Please understand, I'm against a wall
My love for you in all it's might

Now the sun sets and fades to night
And the train slows to a crawl,
The bird takes off and enjoys flight.
My love for you in all it's might.
