She got me over my fear of flying
And made me unafraid of heights
With her I caught the breeze without trying
And like a dove deep in love I took flight

Then one day the wind changed and to my surprise
It took away my sweet bird of paradise

Now I’m too blue to fly
Feeling too low to even try
Since she flew away
The sky is always gray
I’m not too blue to cry
I’m just too blue to fly

I know I need to look beyond her
I’ve heard there’s lots of birds in the sky
But I keep searching the wild blue yonder
Like she’ll appear through these tears in my eyes

It’s hard to keep going on a wing and a prayer
Knowing my future’s all up in the air

Chorus

This bird of a feather is stuck on the ground
But it’s not the weather that’s holding me down

Chorus
