Little bird don't know your name
You've been hangin' round my yard
Though it may still snow in May
You're journey's long and hard
There's miles to go before you yet
This is not the end
You're welcome back most any time
I'll always call you friend
You go all the way
You go all the way
You go all the way
You go all the way
You're in the sun singin' foreign tunes
Till my heart could break
But stayin' here, I fear, my dear,
Would be a drear mistake
Though seasons they go wearily now
There's danger in the sun
For all our peace of mind, my dear,
I'm hopin' you're the one
Chorus
I never held a single thing
I lived just for myself
I met a darling little bird
Love became our wealth
And soon I'd like to help all things
Find their place in the sun
And like the darling bird that flew
You'll always be the ones
