Yesterday I saw a bird, whose tree had disappeared The clouds lay claim to a moonlit sky You are gone and I am here You are gone and I am here Like that lonely bird in the night time With no place left to land I drift away through winter skies And I finally understand And I finally understand That once I had a place that I belonged to Once I had a hand that I could hold Someone I could sing my summer song to Now I find I'm left out in the cold Now I find I'm left out in the cold I see you now in my dreams I feel your warm embrace When I awake it's pure heartbreak You are gone without a trace You are gone without a trace Once I had a place that I belonged to Once I had a hand that I could hold Someone I could sing my summer song to Now I find I'm left out in the cold Now I find I'm left out in the cold Yesterday I saw a bird, whose tree had disappeared The clouds lay claim to a moonlit sky You are gone and I am here You are gone and I am here
