Bird Lyrics - Shaken Up Versions - The Knife

If I was a bird 

I would fly high over the world 

Come home at night to your garden 

Build a nest among the branches 

And I'll comb your hair with my beak 

If I was a bird 

I would count my time in pearls 

Under my wings you'll find shelter 

You'll breed bugs and keep me well fed 

And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly 

But you wanted me to be a girl 

Without feathers without urge 

Then my wings quick disappeared 

And left was only fear 

And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly 

Proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly 

I'll have to fly
