deep purple
bird has flown
Oh the beggar on his cornerstone Catches pity in his wrinkled hand But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing only grains of sand  All the children in the distant house They have feelings only children know But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing only flakes of snow  The sensation is not new to you It's something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes it's something we all have known  And the bird it has flown To a place on it's own Somewhere all alone  Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me  The sensation's not new to you It's something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes it's something we all have known  And the bird it has flown  Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me  Oh it's started snowing
