Lyrics
The Way I Feel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
A tall oak tree alone and cryin'
When her birds have flown and the nest is bare
Now a woman lord is like a young bird
And the tall oak tree is like a young man's heart
Among his boughs you will find her nesting
When the nights are cool she's warm and dry
Your coat of green will protect her
Her wings will grow your love will too
But all too soon your mighty branches
Will cease to hold her she'll fly from you
If I'd wings to fly
I'd follow you
If you'd wait for me
I'd fly away
I'd fly away
