Oh the beggar on his cornerstone 
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand 
But the lover whose bird has flown 
Catches nothing only grains of sand 


All the children in the distant house 
They have feelings only children know 
But the lover whose bird has flown 
Catches nothing only flakes of snow 


The sensation is not new to you 
It's something we all have known 
You get it - it goes right through you 
Yes it's something we all have known 


And the bird it has flown 
To a place on it's own 
Somewhere all alone 


Now the hermit in his lonely cave 
Has himself to keep him company 
But the lover whose bird has flown 
He has heartaches same as you and me 


The sensation's not new to you 
It's something we all have known 
You get it - it goes right through you 
Yes it's something we all have known 


And the bird it has flown 


Now the hermit in his lonely cave 
Has himself to keep him company 
But the lover whose bird has flown 
He has heartaches same as you and me 


Oh it's started snowing
