[Verse 1]
Bird on a wing
Such a fine and peaceful
Ooh, it ain’t right, it ain’t wrong
Make your mind up, child
Don’t go out and sing alone
Ain't we rolling through lost and found
Make your mind up, child
Don't go out and head on into the town

[Chorus]
There'll be fooling, frolic and fight
There'll be bands playing
It's a heartache if that's what you like
Is it all worth saving?

[Verse 2]
Bird on a wing
Such a fine and peaceful thing
Ain't we rolling through lost and found
Make your mind up, child
Don't go out and head on into the town

[Chorus]
There'll be fooling, frolic and fight
There'll be bands playing
Come play, play it nice
No matter what the devil say
There'll be fooling, frolic and fight
There'll be kindness and danger
It all gets strange
Turning the knife
All gets stranger
[Verse 3]
And there you are, my shimmering light
When all signs point nowhere, there’s nowhere open at this time
While she stood out in the garden
With a hatchet in her hands
Said I’ll be going out there
And I’ll be seeing you then
Or something of the kind

[Bridge]
Smile, it may never happen
Smile, it may never happen
Smile, it may never happen

[Outro]
Bird on a wing
Such a fine and peaceful thing
Ain't we rolling through lost and found
Make your mind up, child
Don't go out and head on into the town
