You were my bonnie forsaken But I could tell that you were not mine Something told me that your heart Was already taken And I didn't spend the time Well alas I saw you hide under the blanket On a sunday afternoon And by the evening time there was rain Coming down
So I went up and left the room I looked into my book of lines You brought to me And you were staring back at me this time Old bluebird If I sail into the silver light to meet you Would you take my hand and show me Who you're praying to?
