I saw you running ahead of the crowdI chased but never thought I'd catch youYou said you loved me but you had to be free and I let youWhy did I let youWe walked together through the gardens and gravesI watched you grow to be a womanLiving on promises that nobody gave to no oneThey were given to no oneI started listening to the wind and the rainYou strained your ears but could hear nothingOne night I thought I heard them whisper my nameAnd I went runningI left a trail of footprints deep in the snowI swore one day I would retrace themBut when I turned around I found that the wind had erased themNow I'll never replace them[Chorus:]Fly away, my sweet bird, over the landTake life for all the freedom you canBut if you ever should need a manWell, the offer still standsI hear you've taken on a husband and childAnd live somewhere in PennsylvaniaI never thought you'd ever sever the string but I can't blame you noneSo let the ashes fall and lay where they willSongtexteJust say that once you used to know meOne last time sing that old song we used to knowBut this time singBut this time sing a little more slowly[Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
