"Little Bird" lyrics

My God how it happened so fast
Poison filled your arteries
It stole all the breath from your chest
And now you lay so peacefully

They said it was all for the best
We couldn't have you suffering
Now we wait by your hospital bed
No one has the heart to leave
To leave

But I hear you
Now I know that

Little bird that I heard
Singing from the oak tree
Whistling to your sweet melody

Though it hurts
Knowing you're
Living in my prayers
I believe you're somewhere
In between

My dear, my dear
You've never been so clear
I know I'll never forget you

I hear, I hear
Your voice inside my ear
I'll keep you around with this
Melody for you, you oo o o o o
You, you oo o o o o...

Wake up you sleepy head
Maybe it was all a dream
Cause right now my mind doesn't know
How to face reality

I can't fight with the scars on your head
I trying not to be naive
But I stand by your funeral bed
Waiting for your heart to beat

Little bird that I heard
Singing from the oak tree
Whistling to your sweet melody

Though it hurts
Knowing you're
Living in my prayers
I believe you're somewhere
In between

My dear, my dear
You've never been so clear
I know I'll never forget you

I hear, I hear
Your voice inside my ear
I'll keep you around with this
Melody for you, you oo o o o o
You, you oo o o o o...
