Bird On The Beach Lyrics - The Animals

'Stood with my kid on the lonely windswept beach 

The winter sun was on the horizon 

And we were both out of reach 

She ran ahead of me looking for the next surprise 

Our souls were wet, yes Lord 

From the incoming tide 

She stopped and turned and looked at me 

Lord, tears in her eyes 

It's only a dead bird 

And its soul has gone to the sky, yeah, yeah 

Don't you know he's free 

Not like you and me 

That bird is free 

Not like you and me

I never ever thought you would be so out of reach 

And the lonely times have been like poison, child 

I wish I could practise what I preach 

Then I can release these feelings that I've been 

Holding deep inside 

I been missing you so much, baby 

We only hear, there can be time 

By then you will have forgotten 

The little dead bird on the beach 

But please don't forget your father, child 

Because he's out of reach 

I got a dream, baby 

And my dream is 

To be free 

Freedom for you and me 

I'm talking about freedom 

Freedom for you and me

You hear my music in the wind 

Hearbeat like the rolling tide 

One thing you can be sure of my love 

Wherever you go, I'll hold your love inside 

And I told her, look baby 

Even if he was living 

And you could hold him in your hands 

You'd still have to open up one of these days 

And let that bird fly, free 

She stopped and turned and looked at me, 

Lord, with tears in her eyes 

It's only a dead bird and its soul has gone to the sky 

Don't you know he's free 

Freedom for you and me 

I'm talking about freedom, freedom 

Freedom for you and me 

To be free 

It's all I need baby 

It's all I dream about baby 

To be free
