1. This Bird Upon The Wing

this bird upon the wing
flies through my window
with a song from her heart

this bird upon the wing
hovers in my thoughts
along a breeze of passion

she knows no cage
but comes freely
to offer me the pleasure
of our moments together

this bird upon the wing
glides through the heavens
within the joy of my soul

2. Wounded Bird

wounded bird come to my room
tell me of the sorrow you voice to no other

wounded bird come to my room
allow me the chance to kiss away your tears

wounded bird come to my room
bring to me your life and i shall embrace it

wounded bird come to my room
where perhaps if i tell you often

you will believe how beautiful you are

3. From My Open Window

from my open window
i trace the memory
of the bird who has flown
on a broken wing

she seeks a passage
she seeks an answer
where i know neither
the route nor the question

from my open window
i trace the journey
of the bird who has flown
on a broken wing

i watch the red fingers of twilight
that replace the golden glow of the afternoon
i watch the blue fingers of night
that slowly ebb the strength of the dusk

i watch where the silhouette
of a broken wing has flown
from my open window

and all that remains is the echo
of where she once stood
