Golden was the bird I knew,
Sang a song so free then flew,
And they won't come back,
Can't come back.

Golden was the bird long gone,
Sang a little while, flew on,
And they won't come back,
Can't come back.

Yeah, I woke one morning, long time gone,
A magpie’d come to steal away my song,
Was up against the window yeah tapping on the pane,
But it couldn't get in, no, kept calling my name.

Golden was the bird,
And they won't come back.

Times you took my hand and filled the space between,
Times you understand and taught me what it means,
To be alone, to be alone, to be alone I dream to be alone,
To be alone, to be alone, to be alone I dream to be alone,

It’s not complicated, it should have faded long ago,
Times you took my hand and filled the space between,
Times you understand and taught me what it means
To be alone (it’s not complicated),
To be alone (it should have faded),
To be alone, I dream to be alone.
