Strange Bird - Anita Lipnicka/John Porter

Yesterday I saw the ghost

Of my shaded past

He was standing by my window

Looking kind of lost

He said I've travelled across the oceans

Of time and space

Just to say I love you

I still can't forget

I didn't even stop to listen

I had my things to do

So I just kept on walking

Staring at my shoes

I guess I didn't have the courage

To look him in the face

Then I heard his voice

Crying at my back

And he said you're a strange bird

You sang so sweet then you flew away

You're a weird flame

You made me warm till I got burnt

I got burnt

And you'll pay for this one day

When I got home it was late at night

Nothing on TV

So I just dived into the silence

With a cup of tea

Somehow I couldn't rest my mind

When I was in bed

I still heard these words

Rattling in my head

When he said you're a strange bird

You sang so sweet then you flew away

You're a weird flame

You made me warm till I got burnt

I got burnt

And you'll pay for this one day

I woke up early in the morning

Blinded by the sun

I never felt so empty and so lonely

In my life

I've left so many ghosts behind me

Just to save my self

Now I'm all alone

And that's the price I pay

I'm a strange bird

I sing so sweet then I fly away

I'm a weird flame

I'll make you warm

Till you get burnt

Cause I'm a strange bird

I sing so sweet then I fly away

I'm a weird flame

I'll make you warm

Till you get burnt

I just look for love

Does it make me bad

We all look for love

But it's not always there
