Word came through in a letter One of us changing our minds You won't need to guess who Since I usually do not send letters to me Letter mine I told him I saw this coming That I'd practically packed up my things I was glad at the time That I said I was fine But all honesty knows I wasn't ready, no And so here we go, bluebird Back to the sky on your own Oh, let him go, bluebird Ready to fly, you and I Here we go Here we go This pair of wings worn and rusted For too many years by my side They can carry me, swear to be sturdy and strong But see, turning them on still means goodbye And so here we go, bluebird Gather your strength and rise up Oh, let him go, bluebird Oh, let him go, bluebird Oh, let him go, bluebird Ready to fly, you and I Here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go
