about
Tells the story of the integrity of a true loving relationship - if you truly love someone, set them free. If they return to you, they are yours, if they don't, they never were.
lyrics
Chorus: Wild bird, fly free. Wild bird, fly free
And when you’ve finally spread your wings, and done all your crazy things
Then turn around, and fly back home to me
Dreams are easily broken by promises false spoken
That you never intended, you never intended to fulfill
I showed you how to spread your wings, to reach out for better things
So all your dreams, your dreams could now be real
Chorus- Wild bird fly free, wild bird fly free
And when you’ve finally spread your wings, and done all your crazy things
Then turn around, and fly back home to me
So take good care now as you fly, and don’t attempt to fly too high
But control the new sensations that you feel
But if these new sensations, far exceed your expectations
Just don’t confuse them for the real thing
I came to you and let you see the very inside of my soul
But you were only playing an imitation role
Of caring and sharing, and building things together
But you were faking, always taking, and I should have known better
And I, and I, and I, should have known better
Dublin born singer/songwriter now living in Calgary Alberta Canada - a strong musical pedigree spanning 15 years on the road with The Cotton Mill Boys in Ireland.
