Way I Feel Lyrics - Rankin Family

The way I feel is like a robin 

Whose babes have flown to come no more 

Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin' 

When the birds have flown and the nest is bare 

Now a woman Lord, is like a young bird 

And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart 

Among its boughs you find her nesting 

When the nights are cool, she's warm and dry 

Your coat of green, it will protect her 

Her wings will grow, your love will too 

But all too soon, your mighty branches 

Will cease to hold her and she'll fly from you 

Now the way I feel is like a robin 

Whose babes have flown to come no more 

Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin'
