Pretty Bird - Crooked Still

Fly away little pretty bird

Fly, Fly away

Fly away little pretty bird

And pretty you will always stay

I see in your eyes a promise

Your own tender love you bring

But fly away little pretty bird

Cold runneth the spring

Love’s own tender flames warm this meeting

And love’s tender song you’ll sing

But fly away little pretty bird

And pretty you’ll always sing

I cannot make you no promise

For love is such a delicate thing

Fly away little pretty bird

For he’d only clip your wings

Fly far beyond this dark mountain

To where you’ll be free evermore

Fly away little pretty bird

Where the cold winter winds don’t blow
