Lyrics

You were the bird on the branch
Singing our song
The deepest cut
Before you flew on
Bending the third
Making it blue
The bird on the branch
I know it was you

The bird on the branch
Singing Stardust
But changing the words
Now they’re about us
I saw you up there
Silhouette on the moon
The bird on the branch
Singing our tune

I don’t know why you fly away so fast
One song then you’re gone
You can stay for just one more, we’ll say it’s the last
Shine on harvest moon shine on

The bird on the branch
Singing for free
My love long gone
Returned to me
I saw you up there
Silhouette on the moon
The bird on the branch
Singing our tune
