In the birdhouse I built, The youngling flies off for the first time Looking back With hope for you I whispered your name I wanted nothing more than the world for you, So much, I invented new ones. We made moons at the cliff In a word of spoken poetry. The rivers split And we became found. I caught all the petals in the wind To recreate a flower. I taught you how to fly, And you became a bird. I'm just an old fool Who pieces together The broken heart.

We made moons at the cliff In a word of spoken poetry. The rivers split And we became found. I caught all the petals in the wind To recreate a flower. I taught you how to fly, And you became a bird. I'm just an old fool Who pieces together The broken heart.
