tell me what you will my blue winged friend did you hear me from where you drifted on the wind this autumn wind on a summer day sure can turn a blue sky grey oh it s a lonely day and cold there are secrets you ve not told and there are parts of me that i have never known and i wonder if you see through the walls inside of me feathered friend i wish that you could say why you sit on that wooden post and watch me play the sky is yours and the ground is mine do you want to trade some time and let me soar above these trees see the earth through golden leaves breathe the air and watch the rivers from above there are many things to love but it s these that call it to me if i run like the river runs if i fall like water falls oh if i breathe like the wind will i ever learn it all if i change like autumn leaves if i grow like summer weeds if i m quiet as snow will i ever know it all learn it all i don t really know from day to day if i m willing to walk this road or turn away but something here in the silver sky is exactly what i need to begin the song again help me sing my winged friend with the melody you rise and float away then i ll leave the way i came but i ll never be the same repeat chorus
