Deep Purple - Bird Has Flown

Oh, the beggar on his cornerstone Catches pity on his wrinkled hand But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing, only grains of sand All the children in the distant house They have feelings only children know But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing, only grains of snow The sensation is not new to you It's something you all have known You get it, it goes right through you Yes, it's something we all have known And the bird it has flown To a place on it's own Somewhere all alone Oh, the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has his heartache just the same as me The sensation is not new to you It's something you all have known You get it, it goes right through you Yes, it's something we all have known And the bird has flown Oh, the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has his heartache just the same as me I can't stand it My bird has flown
