lyrics

She lives in a small house, on the outside of town.
On a little plot of farmland, it’s been years since it’s been ploughed.
Someone made her an offer, it didn’t go down too well.
They offered her double, she swore she’d never sell.

While sitting on her back porch, a wren flew down.
Perched on her husbands chair, long since empty now.
Early the next morning, she awoke to a strange thing.
That wren form the night before, had broken his little wing.

She picked him up into her arms, moving so gently
And in that moment she regrets, never having a family.
She mothered him back to good health, until came the day.
That little bird shook himself, and then he flew away.

Then he flew away, then he flew away, then he flew away.
