I will hear you say
Goodbye, my love
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown, oh
I'll be all alone
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
When your restless eyes
Meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows
Will fall all over town, oh
Love will let me down
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown, oh
I'll be all alone
I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay
Until you go forever
I'll be holding on
For dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows
Will fall all over town, oh
Love will let me down
'Cause you won't be around
Don't fly away
My beautiful bird
Don't, don't fly away
