Bird Of Passage - The Mission

Theres a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart

Theres tears in my eyes, cos were an ocean apart

Theres nothing quite as real as being on my own

Nothing quite as true as being all alone

This bird has flown

But when the summer has passed shell come back home

Love, come wing your way

Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay

Love, come wing your way

Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me

May you stay with me forever

With the change of seasons, she flies her nest

And like the sun at dusk, she sets to the west

Loneliness is the cross I bear

Solitude is the cloak I wear

I miss you, I need you, I love you

When the autumn comes Ill be waiting for you

Love, come wing your way

Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay

Love, come wing your way

Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me

May you stay with me forever

Forever, forever, forever
