It's been a long and lonely winter night
When dawn creeps over the mountain
The dusty city is still asleep
I take a bath in a fountain
A yellow bird comes down to me
And asks for bread and butter
So sorry, dear, but I can't help you
Look for breakfast in the gutter

Sing me a song (sing me a song)
While we're flying in the sky (sky)
Passing the day (hey)
It won't take long (won't take long)
And you'll find me joining in your song (in your song)
But take me away

Sing me a song (sing me a song)
While we're flying in the sky (sky)
Passing the day, hey (hey)
It won't take long (won't take long)
And you'll find me joining in your song

(Take me away)

It's been a long day
When the darkness covered the ground
I'm wandering through a forest all alone
And stop as I hear the sound
A girl in yellow has caught my view
And begs me to hold her hand
Don't worry dear, when the morning comes
I will try to make you understand

Sing me a song (sing me a song)
While you're flying in the sky (sky)
We're passing the day (hey)
It won't take long (won't take long)
And you'll find me joining in your song (in your song)
But take me away

Sing me a song (sing me a song)
While we're flying in the sky (sky)
We're passing the day, hey (hey)
It won't take long (won't take long)
And you'll find me joining in your song
(Take me away)

Sing me a song (sing me a song)
While we're flying in the sky (sky)
And we're passing the day (hey)
It won't take long (won't take long)
And you'll find me joining in your song (in your song)
But please take me away

Sing me a song (sing me a song)
While we're flying in the sky (sky)
We're passing the day (hey)
It won't take long (won't take long)
And you'll find me joining in your song (in your song)
But please take me away
Sing me a song...
(Fade out)
