Golden Bird |
| Walking along on a path in the mountains |
| I saw a bird flying way up high |
| Gold were its wings in the sun of the morning |
| Flashing at me as it flew through the sky |
| It’s beauty was such, and I felt I must have it |
| She stood all day, nearly into the night |
| Finally angered that I couldn’t catch it |
| Determined that I would stop it in flight |
| I found a stone by a mountain stream flowing |
| Rounded and smoothed by the water’s fast flow |
| It felt so warm and alive in my hand |
| It was an arrow, my arm was a bow |
| Then a flashing of wings, and a cry pierced the air |
| It fluttered and it fell on the rocks at my feet |
| Weeping I left it, the thing that had fallen |
| Blood stained my hands and tears wet my cheek |
| Later that night as I lay in my bed |
| I heard the sound of wings in the air |
| The room became bathed in a warm, golden glow |
| I opened my eyes and a woman stood there |
| (Duet with a woman) |
| Did not you know when you hurt me so cruelly |
| I was your love, I was your friend |
| You couldn’t stand it that I was so free |
| Now you will never see me again |
