Fotheringay - The Way I Feel lyrics

The way I feel is like a robin Whose birds have flown to come no more Like 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 it's branches, you'll find her nesting When the nights are cool, she is warm and dry In leaves of green they will protect her Her wings will grow, your love will too But all too soon your mighty branches Will fail to hold her, she'll fly from you The way I feel is like a robin Whose birds have flown to come no more Like a tall oak-tree, alone and cryin' When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
