Lyrics
My bird flies home from afar
Brings the joy of spring to me
O'er the ocean's endless blue
He never fails, his path is clear and true
Perched upon a branch of green
He rests his legs from the long journey
Warms my heart with wondrous song
I listen close, he tells of battles won
From my heart I thank you friend
For this precious melody
For these sweet and pure tones
Sweet and pure tones
When the autumn comes again
I ask you from my heart, my friend
That you'd have me sing your song
Oh, summer guest, I'll miss you while you're gone
From my heart I thank you friend
For this precious melody
For these sweet and pure tones
Sweet and pure tones
You've made a shelter for my soul
If your language I could speak
I would weave a song for you of my own
Brings the joy of spring to me
O'er the ocean's endless blue
He never fails, his path is clear and true
Perched upon a branch of green
He rests his legs from the long journey
Warms my heart with wondrous song
I listen close, he tells of battles won
From my heart I thank you friend
For this precious melody
For these sweet and pure tones
Sweet and pure tones
When the autumn comes again
I ask you from my heart, my friend
That you'd have me sing your song
Oh, summer guest, I'll miss you while you're gone
From my heart I thank you friend
For this precious melody
For these sweet and pure tones
Sweet and pure tones
You've made a shelter for my soul
If your language I could speak
I would weave a song for you of my own
