Bird Has Flown Lyrics - Deep Purple - Deep Purple

Oh the beggar on his cornerstone 

Catches pity in 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 flakes of snow 

The sensation is not new to you 

It's something we all have known 

You get it - it goes right through you 

Yes it's something we all have known

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And the bird it has flown 

To a place on it's own 

Somewhere all alone 

Now the hermit in his lonely cave 

Has himself to keep him company 

But the lover whose bird has flown 

He has heartaches same as you and me 

The sensation's not new to you 

It's something we 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 

Now the hermit in his lonely cave 

Has himself to keep him company 

But the lover whose bird has flown 

He has heartaches same as you and me 

Oh it's started snowing
