THE ANIMALS

THE ANIMALS - BIRD ON THE BEACH lyrics

rate me

'Stood with my kid on the lonely windswept beach

The winter sun was on the horizon

And we were both out of reach

She ran ahead of me looking for the next surprise

Our souls were wet, yes Lord

From the incoming tide

She stopped and turned and looked at me

Lord, tears in her eyes

It's only a dead bird

And its soul has gone to the sky, yeah, yeah

Don't you know he's free

Not like you and me

That bird is free

Not like you and me

I never ever thought you would be so out of reach

And the lonely times have been like poison, child

I wish I could practise what I preach

Then I can release these feelings that I've been

Holding deep inside

I been missing you so much, baby

We only hear, there can be time

By then you will have forgotten

The little dead bird on the beach

But please don't forget your father, child

Because he's out of reach

I got a dream, baby

And my dream is

To be free

Freedom for you and me

I'm talking about freedom

Freedom for you and me

You hear my music in the wind

Hearbeat like the rolling tide

One thing you can be sure of my love

Wherever you go, I'll hold your love inside

And I told her, look baby

Even if he was living

And you could hold him in your hands

You'd still have to open up one of these days

And let that bird fly, free

She stopped and turned and looked at me,

Lord, with tears in her eyes

It's only a dead bird and its soul has gone to the sky

Don't you know he's free

Freedom for you and me

I'm talking about freedom, freedom

Freedom for you and me

To be free

It's all I need baby

It's all I dream about baby

To be free
