Kathy Mattea – Pretty Bird Lyrics

Fly away, you little pretty bird
Fly, fly away
Fly away, little pretty bird
And pretty, you'll always stay

I see in your eyes, a promise
Your own tender love, you bring
But fly away, little pretty bird
Cold, runneth, the spring

Loves own tender flame, warms meeting
And love's tender songs, you sing
But fly away, little pretty bird
And pretty, you'll always stay

I cannot make you, no promises
For love, is such a delicate thing
But fly away, little pretty bird
For he'd only, clip your wings

Fly, fly away, you little pretty bird
Fly, fly away
Fly away, little pretty bird
And pretty, you'll always stay

Fly, far beyond, the dark mountain
To where, you'd be free, evermore
Fly away, little pretty bird
Where the cold winter winds, don't blow
