lyrics

I thought that if I ever came back,
I would fly up and he’d be delighted.
Instead, this bird is under attack,
Like I was never even invited.

His words are insulting,
He looks at me like I’m molting -
Vicious, suspicious.
Abrupt and impatient,
He stands, demanding an explanation.

What can I tell him?
Where could I even begin?
How could I know he’d be nothing like he had been?
Why should I stay here?
It’s sad and gray here.

And I can’t explain,
I can’t even speak.
It’s difficult just to keep it together,
When every word that comes to my beak,
Rattles his cage and ruffles his feathers.

He can’t understand me!
Who could this bird in his hand be?
Vicious, suspicious.
I’m drowning in anguish.
It’s like I’m speaking a different language.

What can I tell him?
He can’t decipher the words.
He stands with his arms crossed,
His attitude for the birds.
Why should I stay here?
It’s sad and gray here.
