Little bird so far away
Your heartbeat sounds much dimmer
Little bird my star does sway
To follow you in winter
Your feathers touch so lightly
When once they were so strong
The wind carries me nightly
On the notes of summer’s song
Springtime with all its flowers
Join you to brighten all the land
Now the trees are bare and showers
Turn cold the opened hand
Little bird so far away
Your heartbeat sounds much dimmer
Little bird my star does sway
To follow you in winter
