lyrics

If I was a bird I could wing it
In the absence of words then I could still sing it
But I haven’t got a beak and I haven’t got the time
To make it rhyme – to make it rhyme

I miss the good old days when I was listless
But no butterfly crawls back to chrysalis
I see the times have changed
Some folks are deranged and less with it
Less with it

If I was a bird I could wing it
If I didn’t have the words then I could still sing it
But I haven’t got a beak and I haven’t got the time
To make it rhyme – to make it rhyme
