My bird flies home from afar
Brings the joy of spring to me
Oer the oceans endless blue
He never fails, his path is clear and true
Perched upon a branch of green
He rests his legs from the long journey
Warms my heart with one true song
I listen close, to tales of battles won
From my heart I thank
you friend for this precious melody
For these sweet and pure tones, pure tones
When the _comes again
I ask you from my heart, my friend
that you'll help me sing your song
Oh, summer guest,
I'll miss you while you're gone.
From my heart I thank you friend for
this precious melody
For these sweet and pure tones,
sweet and pure tones
You made a shelter for my soul if
your language I could speak
I'd sing a song for you of my own
