Any day now I will hear you say "Goodbye, my love" And you'll be on your way Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh Any day now I'll be all alone, whoa Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new Oh, to my sad surprise Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh Any day now love will let me down, whoa Oh my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh Any day now I'll be all alone I know I shouldn't want to keep you If you don't want to stay-ay Until you go forever I'll be holding on for dear life Holding you this way Begging you to stay Any day now when the clock strikes, 'Go' You'll call it off And then my tears will flow Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh Any day now love will let me down 'cause you won't be around Don't fly away, my beautiful bird Don't, don't fly away.
