(words & music by Harlan Collins)

You're like a bird afraid of flying

So many nights I've heard you crying

Alone in other rooms

The magic melts so soon

You make it hard for me to walk away

But I've already gone too far to stay

A couple dreams ago I found you

Before the nightmares that surround you

And drown you in despair

It's like I wasn't even there

You make it hard for me to walk away

But I've already gone too far to stay

I've seen you standing by the water

Looking like some abandoned daughter

Who's father sailed away

And died beyond the waves

You make it hard for me to walk away

But I've already gone too far to stay
