Ingrid Michaelson - A Bird's Song

When I would play my song
You used to sing along
I always seem to forget
How fragile are the very strong

I'm sorry I can't steal you
I'm sorry I can't stay
So I'll put band aids on your knees
And watch you fly away

I'm sending you away tonight
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
I'm saving you the best way I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing

You know I'm not so far away
Get on a boat,
Get on a train
And if you ever think you're drowning
I'll try to slow the rain

In two years or so
drop me a line
write me a letter

I hope to find you're doing better
better than today
better everyday

I'm sending you away tonight
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
I'm saving you the best way I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing
I'm saving you the only way I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing
I hope again one day to bring your smile back around
again
