Lyrics One Less Bird - Silver Trees

One Less Bird

Summer night we were 17
When she said I love you
But baby I’m leaving
Come tomorrow you come and see me when you can
We had some times here
We had some live here
Remember driving all through the night?
We would talk like someday we’d stop somewhere and make it home
But time rolls on and it’s time that I let you
Some’ll run back or some run free
Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams
And they used to say if you love someone let her fly
All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight
One last weekend and one last picture
One last day trip to laugh about later
One more moment that takes you farther out from me
They say that distance can grow your heart
But every day spent away makes you feel farther
Some’ll run back or some run free
Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams
And they used to say if you love someone let her fly
All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight
Some’ll run back or some run free
Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams
And they used to say if you love someone let her fly
Some’ll run back or some run free
Some’ll pack their bags up and chase down dreams
And they used to say if you love someone let her fly
All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight
There’s one last bird
In this lonely cage
Tonight
