1. You wore a little cross of gold around your neck

2. I saw it as you flew between my reason

3. Like a raven in the night time when you left

4. I wear a chain upon my wrist that bears no name

5. You touched it and you wore it

6. And you kept it in your pillow all the same

7. My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms

8. I thought myself her keeper

9. She thought I meant her harm

10. She thought I was the archer

11. A weather man of words

12. But I could never shoot down

13. My high-flying bird

14. The white walls of your dressing room are stained in scarlet red

15. You bled upon the cold stone like a young man

16. In the foreign field of death

17. Wouldn't it be wonderful is all I heard you say

18. You never closed your eyes at night and learned to love daylight

19. Instead you moved away

20. My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms

21. I thought myself her keeper

22. She thought I meant her harm

23. She thought I was the archer

24. A weather man of words

25. But I could never shoot down

26. My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms

27. I thought myself her keeper

28. She thought I meant her harm

29. She thought I was the archer

30. A weather man of words

31. But I could never shoot down

32. My high-flying bird

33. My high-flying, high-flying bird

34. My high-flying, high-flying bird

35. My high-flying, high-flying bird

36. My high-flying, high-flying bird
