This Bird Has Flown

This bird has flown
My time was done
This scarf was thrown across velvet necks before
The chance of a life time taken in tow
When the going gets tough
And when the glow don't go on and on
It gets sad things are prepared that way

It starts with a kiss ends in distress
In between ecstasy and a strange kind of sad
You fell in love with love itself
Nobody's tough enough to carry that on
The strong and the faithful all fall that way

And the time would come
It would turn out that way

That way for you

This bird has flown
My time was done
This hat has sat on vacated floors before
And the owner of the hat has been sad and lost for words
As he stoops to carry the cost
And the time weighs down
Down on his shoulders now

And the time would come
It would turn out that way

Oh yeah

That way

Oh yeah
