"Little Bird" lyrics - LAURA MARLING

[Intro:]
Oh, Rosie, where have you been?
I couldn't save you, but I tried, Rosie
I tried

Why did you run from everyone
Who only tried to love you? Rosie, only tried

[Chorus:]
Little bird, if I only knew
Maybe I'd be more like you
With a feather in my wing
Is it spring?
Do I sing?

[Post-Chorus:]
Maybe I like pleasure-pain
Of going and coming back again
What I leave behind
I come back to find
It's no longer mine

So why not run from everyone?
Who only tries to love you? Rosie, only tries

[Chorus:]
Little bird, if I only knew
Maybe I'd be more like you
With a feather in my wing
Is it spring?
Do I sing?

[Post-Chorus:]
Maybe I like pleasure-pain
Of going and coming back again
What I leave behind
I come back to find
It's no longer mine

[Chorus:]
Little bird, if I only knew
Maybe I'd be more like you-

[Bridge]

[Chorus:]
-With a feather in my wing
Is it spring?
Do I sing?
