Like A Bird In The Winter

Like A Bird In The Winter
How could you just go?
And leave me to wonder
Like a bird in the Winter
You left me all alone

You changed with the leaves
And left with the flock
Like a bird in the Winter
You left me all alone

I saw the first snowflake
It sent a chill down my neck
The branches on the trees so empty
Like the house left so open
And a blizzard drifts in

I wander around
Without you to guide me
Like a bird in the Winter
You left me all alone

You left without a song
Without a word even in passing
Like a bird in the Winter
You left me all alone

As I think to myself
the reason you left me
It comes oh so clearly
Like a ship on the ocean
On a bright sunny day

I kept you tethered
As you longed to be flying
So like a bird in the Winter
You left me all alone

And so I wait here
At the place where you left me
Like a bird in the Winter
You might return in the Spring
