Come back, baby bird With your dirty wings in tatters Come home where you belong Nobody knows you better Bring back your velvet heart And I'll make you brand new feathers Sleep through the morning light With your arms around your brothers. Baby bird, come back home Baby bird, you were never really on your own Outside the faces cry With the tears of lonesome orphans and behind every mask Is the face of another Wherever you have been Whenever you took cover No arms that pulled you in Could hold you like your mother Baby bird, come back home Baby bird, you were never really on your own When all my colors fade and My wings, they've turn to leather Well, I'll know the reasons why God let me get older When all my days are through And I find these hills no longer I'll lay beneath the stars And I'll watch you flying over Baby bird, come back home Baby bird, you were never really on your own Baby bird, come back home Baby bird, you will never be all alone
