Bird Lyrics by The Knife

The Knife

2001

[Verse 1]
If I was a bird
I would fly high over the world
Come home at night to your garden
Build a nest among the branches
And I'll comb your hair with my beak
If I was a bird
I would count my time in pearls
Under my wings you'll find shelter
You'll breed bugs and keep me well fed

[Chorus]
And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly

[Verse 2]
But you wanted me to be a girl
Without feathers, without urge
Then my wings quickly disappeared
And left was only fear

[Chorus][x2]
