Bird that flew away
To a foreign pace
Won't come back unchanged
Sleepless as I lay
In my laboured state
Who would rather say
I want a new bird
My lover
Sold myself away
In the U.S.A.
What a price I paid
Hard 'tis to believe
That they'd never seen
Salted waters green
To a foreign pace
Won't come back unchanged
Sleepless as I lay
In my laboured state
Who would rather say
I want a new bird
My lover
Sold myself away
In the U.S.A.
What a price I paid
Hard 'tis to believe
That they'd never seen
Salted waters green
