One Less Bird - Silver Trees

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
