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
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.
