At the end of the day Across a moonless sky Comes a wide winged bird Sent to close my eyes When you kissed my lips They were cold like mine And you swore you'd loved me 'Til the day I died There's a wide winged bird Flying across the sky Sent to carry your love To me right on time There's a wide winged bird In the dead of the night Come to show me you loved me 'Til the day I died At my death they dug a grave And in that grave they grew a seed And that seed became a leaf And that leaf became a tree And in that tree there was a nest And in that nest there lay an egg From that egg there came a body Of a wide winged bird There's a wide winged bird Flying across the sky Sent to carry your love To me right on time There's a wide winged bird In the dead of the night Come to show me you loved me 'Til the day I died At the end of the day Across a moonless sky Comes a wide winged bird Sent to close my eyes
