Bm                         G                         D                              A  
My love for you was like a flowing river,
Bm                                                 G  
And you drank me up.. you took too much,
D                                 A  
Now my bed is stone.
Bm                            G  
And over the shallows,
D                                                    A  
where once the water kissed you…
Bm                         G                         D                              A  
there flies a bird, though he flies alone.
Bm                         G                         D                              A  
And he flies away…into unknown tomorrows,
Bm                         G                         D                      A  
And he waits for the water to return.
Bm                         G                         D                              A  
Until that day he sings his song of sorrow,
Bm                         G                         D                      A  
So I wait for him to change his tune.
D                    A                              Bm                                    G  
        Oh bird, are you singing just for me?
D                                              G                                      A  
Or are there other rivers that run dry?
D                    A                            Bm                      G  
        Oh bird please fly away and see.
D                                 G                                 A  
I need to know if she's alright.
        Bm  G  DA  
Bm                         G  
So he flies away…
D                                                            A  
Though desert sands and mountains.
Bm                              G  
His wings are tired…
D                                                         A  
but his strength is in his song.
Bm                         G                         D                              A  
And he comes to green wide open pastures,
Bm                         G                         D                              A  
Cut with a river painted the deepest blue.
Bm                         G                         D                              A  
So he stops to drink and then he sees her.
Bm                                      G  
She swims in the shallows,
D                                         A  
Just like she did before.
Bm                         G                         D                              A  
He sings his song though she can't hear him…
Bm                         G                         D                              A  
For she drinks the water of another love.
D                    A                              Bm                                    G  
        Oh bird, are you singing just for me?
D                                              G                                      A  
Or are there other rivers that run dry?
D                    A                            Bm                      G  
        Oh bird please fly away and see.
D                                 G                                 A  
I need to know if she's alright.
