The way I feel is like a robin

Whose babes have flown to come no more

A tall oak tree alone and cryin'

When her birds have flown and the nest is bare

Now a woman lord is like a young bird

And the tall oak tree is like a young man's heart

Among his boughs you will find her nesting

When the nights are cool she's warm and dry



Your coat of green will protect her

Her wings will grow your love will too

But all too soon your mighty branches

Will cease to hold her she'll fly from you



If I'd wings to fly

I'd follow you

If you'd wait for me

I'd fly away

I'd fly away
