Free Like a Bird
When I hold your soul in the evening
like a trembling bird in my hand
when you lean your head against me
feel week and beg me to stand
when we´re sitting together in silence
and I sing for your restless heart
I get a glimpse of the springgreen land
where you used to dream right from the start
When you´re down and oppressed by heavy griefs
and it´s darker than you can bear
would you be safe if I illuminated
the starless night like a light
when the troubles are insuperable
and your heart is weary and sad
would you then let me hold your dear hand
to make you happy and glad
If your boat has lost its direction
and you don’t know where to steer,
then let me be your anchor
If the storm whips waves in your hair
if your childhoods fights and mortals strifes
still are too much to bear
then come and share it and let go
the worry and the fear.
When your eyes rest in mine like a bab
and they´re clear as the Northern star
when they burn with a silent fire
and you´re proud of the person you are
when your soul is a fountain of sprinkling birds
and your face is a tender smile
then let me kiss you and dwell in your beauty
a happy and sunny while
If freedom is what you want
then fly on your wings to the moon
don’t stay too long, behave like a bird
and remember, come back to me soon
I´ll let you fly ´cause I know that you feel
happy as a weightless bird
let you fly where you want since men need
their freedom from what I have heard
Come back to me soon, babe, and let me cover
your sunkissed skin with love
as the rainbow for the rain, I´m a mirror for you
so let´s thank the stars above
tonight I´ll dance with you, baby
for you love me, I know that you do
my heart is so peaceful with you
oh, let´s dwell in the longing blue
When I hold your soul in the evening
like a trembling bird in my hand
when you lean your head against me
feel week and beg me to stand
when we´re sitting together in silence
I try to feel with you, not to ask why
when you fly to the heaven, for I love you, babe
and your soul is my high beloved sky
