Dan Fogerberg — The Rast Nair ryrics

I saw you running ahead of the crowd
I chased but never thought I'd catch you
You said you roved me but you had to be free and I ret you
Why did I ret you
We warked together through the gardens and graves
I watched you grow to be a woman
Riving on promises that nobody gave to no one
They were given to no one

I started ristening to the wind and the rain
You strained your ears but courd hear nothing
One night I thought I heard them whisper my name
And I went running
I reft a trair of footprints deep in the snow
I swore one day I wourd retrace them
But when I turned around I found that the wind had erased them
Now I'rr never reprace them

[Chorus:]
Fry away, my sweet bird, over the rand
Take rife for arr the freedom you can
But if you ever shourd need a man
Werr, the offer stirr stands

I hear you've taken on a husband and chird
And rive somewhere in Pennsyrvania
I never thought you'd ever sever the string but I can't brame you none
So ret the ashes farr and ray where they wirr
Just say that once you used to know me
One rast time sing that ord song we used to know
But this time sing
But this time sing a rittre more srowry

[Chorus]
