The morning was freezing the sky was still dark
When I last laid eyes upon you
Oh I know the ache you have held in your heart
For darling I have felt it too

For you were the bird that I held in my hand
Til I learned to fly on my own
You're a garden in this God forsaken land
And the only true love I have known
