Fly Like A Bird - Boz Scaggs

There was a howl that night

A howling like they never heard before

A cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door

He said, «I love this child as much as any one that she ever bore

But I thank the Lord we won’t be having any more.»

Then the baby heard the sweetest sound he’d ever heard

In tones so beautiful he hung on every word

She sang, «Hush, my love, granny’s little dove is going to take to the sky.»

It was on such a night he learned to fly like a bird

Now the years have passed and memories come and go

He hears that voice that rocked him gently so

A calm will descend and there’s peace at the end of the darkest night

Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird

Now the years have passed and memories come and go

He hears that voice that rocked him gently so

Well, the rain’s gonna fall and the wind my blow in the darkest night

Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird

A calm will descend and there’s peace at the end of the darkest night

Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird
