Once When I Was
Once when I was
a little child
I saw something sad
it made me cry
A bird that fell there
that couldn't fly
it's wings beat out
to touch the sky
I tried to save her,
hands held high
but I was so young then,
just a little child.
And I remem-ber,
how I sat and cried
But that old crow
in my tiny arms,
it died
She freed her heart once more,
up there a while
Sprouting wings again and again,
to fill the skies.
And pagan prayers from me
to make her fly,
once back when I was young
just a little boy

Wild flowers
I gathered
placed them by her side.
I dug a grave for her,
and I just don't know why
I should have known then
being a gypsies child,
that old crow was doomed
long before
it made me cry.
She freed her heart once more
up there a while
Sprouting wings again and again
to fill the skies.....
and pagan prayers from me
to make her fly.
Once back when I was young,
just a little boy...
once back when I was young
just a little child
once back when I was young
and just a little boy
