歌詞

You heard me singing by your window You thought the song was meant for you You held your hand out in the moonlight I came close enough to tempt you You call it fate, I call it hunger A little flame that needs the air You want a promise you can hold on to But I was never staying there

Come a little closer Look into my eyes You can taste the danger But you cannot make it yours

I'm a wild bird I don't belong in your hands Love me with an open heart Don't ask me where I'll land I'm a wild bird No lock can make me stay The moment that you close your hand I'll spread my wings and fly away You can want me You can need me You can call my name But you will never tame A wild bird

You leave the door unlocked behind me And swear you're not afraid to lose But every kiss becomes a question Every touch demands I choose You paint tomorrow like a garden With golden walls and silver wire You say that freedom can be lonely I say a cage is still a cage

Come a little closer Feel the beating wings You can love the music But you cannot own the song

I'm a wild bird I don't belong in your hands Love me with an open heart Don't ask me where I'll land I'm a wild bird No lock can make me stay The moment that you close your hand I'll spread my wings and fly away You can want me You can need me You can call my name But you will never tame A wild bird

Maybe I'll return at midnight Maybe I'll be gone by dawn Maybe you will hear me calling Long after I have moved on If you truly want to love me Let the sky remain my own I may rest here for a moment But I will never build a home

I'm a wild bird I don't belong to anyone I follow every changing wind I turn my face toward the sun I'm a wild bird Don't beg me not to leave If you need to keep me in a cage Then you never wanted me You can want me You can need me You can call my name But you will never tame You will never claim A wild bird

Leave the window open Turn away the key If I come back tomorrow It's because you set me free
