[Intro]
There goes that little girl again
The years have passed, but all in vain
The birds have fallen from the trees
And it is told in these old memories
[Verse 1]
Birds on the wing at the end of the day
The trees of green and brown, you see
Have suddenly turned grey
Don't be too sad when you're waiting for death
The message on the garden wall
Says Mickey Mouse is bad
[Chorus]
Ooh, I need, I need, I need, I need her
The broken arrows in the door
There's lots of Indians
Ooh, need, I need, I need, I need her
The grass that grows above your hair
The pretty patterned teddy bear
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Her baby cries in the heat of the night
Footsteps up the stairs
Her mother's there to hold her tight
Happy young child and his dog running wild
Spring is in the air
And they've been running for a mile
[Bridge]
Remember when the girl was five-years-old?
Now she's grown older with the lies she told
[Verse 3]
Why did this happen, where did I do wrong?
I know that now I'm home
I'm not too young and then I'm gone
[Chorus]
Ooh, I need, I need, I need, I need her
The broken arrows in the door
There's lots of Indians
Ooh, need, I need, I need, I need her
The grass that grows above your hair
The pretty patterned teddy bear
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Birds on the wing at the end of the day
The trees of green and brown, you see
Have suddenly turned grey
