Once I dared a little bird
To grasp my heart betwixt his toes
And fly into the wind without further word
To whence my love should go

The little bird flew around the world
And landed in this very spot
Delicately he passed to me
My tattered punctured heart

Together the bird and I long stared
And wondered what went wrong
We learned that love could not be dared
But must be seeded with a song

If you dare to send your heart by wing
First make sure you learned to sing
