Deep Purple - Bird Has Flown

Bird Has Flown

For the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing, only grains of sand
All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow
Its something we all have known
You get it, it goes right through you
Yes its something we all have known
And the bird, it has flown to a place on its own
Somewhere all alone... Hey
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep himcompany
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
Sensation The sensation is not new to you
Its something we all have known
You get it, it goes right through you
Yes its something we all have known
And the bird, it has flown
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep himcompany
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
