By Lene Lovich on Stiff Records A little bird told me you were untrue Even though t had faith in you I believed the lying words Of the sly little bird So with the bird one day you flew away I woke up too late you had gone Fading on with the song Of the hurting little bird Chorus Still I watch the sky Still I wonder why Still I hope that i can carry on K I can be strong If you hear my song You'll know that It was wrong to say goodbye Such a cold bird so hard captured your heart Does it matter I am falling apart Breaking fast as the flesh Of a dead little bird Repeat chorus to fade Words and music by Lene Lovich/Les Chappell.
