"Pretty Bird" lyrics

"Pretty Bird"

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
