Lightfoot Gordon The Way I Feel Lyrics

The Way I Feel Lyrics

The way I feel is like a robin

 Whose babes have flown to come no more

 A tall oak tree alone and cryin'

 When the birds have flown and the nest is bare 

 

 Now a woman Lord is like a young bird

 And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart

 Among its boughs you'll find her nesting

 When the nights are cool she's warm and dry 

 

 Your coat of green will protect her

 Her wings will grow your love will too

 But all too soon your mighty branches

 Will cease to hold her she'll fly from you 

 

 Now the way I feel is like a robin

 Whose babes have flown to come no more

 A tall oak tree alone and cryin'

 When the birds have flown and the nest is bare

 When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
