A little bird told me, you were untrue... Even though, I had, faith in you I believe, the liars words Oh the same, little bird So with the bird, one day, you flew away I woke up, to late, you had gone Fading on....with this song Of the hurting little bird Oh Oh Oh Oh [Chorus] Still I watch the sky Still I wonder why Still I hope that I Can carry on If I can't be strong If you hear my song You'll know that it was wrong, to say good bye.. Such a cold bird, so hard, captured your heart Does it matter, I am, falling apart Breaking fast, as the flesh Oh Oh Oh Oh Of the dead little bird [Chorus: x2] Still I watch the sky Still I wonder why Still I hope that I Can carry on If I can't be strong If you hear my song You'll know that it was wrong, to say good bye
