Strange Bird - Anita Lipnicka, John Porter

Yesterday I saw the ghost

Of my shaded past

He was standing by my window

Looking kind of lost

He said: «I've travelled through the oceans

Of time and space

Just to say I love you

I still can’t forget»

I didn’t even stop to listen

I had my things to do

So I just kept on walking

Staring at my shoes

I guess I didn’t have the courage

To look him in the face

Then I heard his voice

Crying at my back

And he said: You’re a strange bird

You sang so sweet then you flew away

You’re a weird flame

You made me warm till I got burnt

Oh!

you’ll pay for this one day

When I got home it was late at night

Nothing on TV

So I just dived into the silence

With a cup of tea

Somehow I couldn’t rest my mind

When I was in bed

I still heard these words

Rattling in my head

And he said: You’re a strange bird

You sang so sweet then you flew away

You’re a weird flame

You made me warm till I got burnt

Oh!

you’ll pay for this one day

I woke up early in the morning

Blinded by the Sun

I never felt so empty and so lonely

In my life

I’ve left so many ghosts behind me

Just to save my self

Now I’m all alone

And that’s the price I pay

I’m a strange bird

I sing so sweet then I fly away

I’m a weird flame

I’ll make you warm

Till you get burnt

I just look for Love

Does it make me bad?

We all look for Love

But it’s not always there
