There's a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart   There's tears in my eyes, 'cos we're an ocean apart   There's nothing quite as real as being on my own   Nothing quite as true as being all alone   This bird has flown    But when the summer has passed she'll come back home      Love, come wing your way   Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay   Love, come wing your way   Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me   May you stay with me forever      With the change of seasons, she flies her nest   And like the sun at dusk, she sets to the west   Loneliness is the cross I bear   Solitude is the cloak I wear   I miss you, I need you, I love you   When the autumn comes I'll be waiting for you      Love, come wing your way   Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay   Love, come wing your way   Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me   May you stay with me forever   Forever, forever, forever
