Pretty Bird                                                                      

Like a fish swimming up a river
A bird against the wind
I'm trying to let you go, my love
But here you come again
Your sweet eyes and wishful lies
How can you be so dishonest?
If I had a ship, I’d sail away
Far away beyond this

Chorus:
A curse upon your lying heart
The honey on your tongue
I'm so tired of this kind of love
But I'm just too tired to run

I'm too old for pity
Who could pity me?
I've been down this road before
I know how it will be
Your sweet eyes and wishful lies
How can you be so dishonest?
If I was strong I’d walk away
Far away beyond this

Chorus

My heart is foolish always
As my mother's was before me
Can a foolish girl be wise someday
Or will bitterness for me be
Your sweet eyes and wishful lies
How can you be so dishonest?
If I was a pretty bird, I’d fly away
Far away beyond this
If I was a pretty bird, I’d fly away
Far away beyond this
