     I sit here now and watching
     The simple seeming flight
     Of a bird soaring through the air
     Piercing the endless night

     I sit here now and watching
     The bird that cries out loud
     Whose broken heart does issue
     The most lonesome seeming sound

     I sit here now and watching
     The birds that dip and wheel
     Who turn upon such weightless wings
     To dive and flip and creel

     I sit here now and watching
     Those that seem so free
     Forever now to wander
     Those boundless eternities

     I sit here now and watching
     My life gone flying by
     And on the wings of that bird
     I'll never know just why

     I sit here now and waiting
     For a bird to take me home
     To tell me what I'm watching for
     And no longer be alone
