Standard (EADGBE)

The way I feel is like a robin,

Whose babes 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 its boughs you'll find her nesting,

When the nights are cool, she's warm and dry.

Your coat of green, it will protect her,

Her wings will grow, your love will too,

But all too soon your mighty branches,

Will cease to hold her. She'll fly from you.

Now the way I feel is like a robin,

Whose babes have flown to come no more.

Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin',

When the birds have flown and the nest is bare.

When the birds have flown and the nest is bare.
