bird on the beach

Singer:burdon, eric

stood with my kid on the lonely windswept beach

the winter sun was on the horizon

and we were both out of reach

she ran ahead of me looking for the next surprise

our souls were wet from the incoming tide

she stopped and looked at me lord

with tears in her eyes

it's only a dead bird

and his soul has gone to the sky

he's free

not like you and me

he's free

not like you and me

i never ever thought

that you would be so out of reach

and the lonely times have been like poison

child

i wish i could practice

what i preach

then i can release these feelings

that i've been holding deep inside

been missing you so much baby

the only healer can be time

by then you will have forgotten the dead bird on the beach

but please

don't forget your father

child

'cause he's out of reach

yeah

my dream is to be free

free

free

freedom for you and me

yeah free

free

free

freedom for you and me

you'll hear my music in the wind

hearbeat like the rolling tide

one thing

you can be sure of

my love

wherever you go

i'll hold your love inside

and i take a look

don't cry

even if he was livin' and you had him in your hands

you'd still have to open up and let him fly

that bird must be free

she stopped and looked at me lord

with tears in her eyes

it's only a dead bird

and his soul has gone to the sky

he's free

not like you and me

he's free

not like you and me

freedom

freedom for you and me

freedom

freedom

free

freedom.
