Strange Bird

Anita Lipnicka


Yesterday I saw the ghost 
Of my shaded past 
He was standing by my window 
Looking kind of lost 
He said : "I've travelled through 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 
Oh! 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 

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 
Oh! 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 
I just look for Love 
Does it make me bad? 
We all look for Love 
But it's not always there
