Robin In the Snow - Sonya Kitchell
I saw a robin flying in the snow
Fluttering low
Isn't the season
How could he not know
It's much too cold
I saw a robin captive to the wind
Time running thin
I said "Dear robin
What a state you're in
You can't get out again"
And just like that
Simple as the sight of feathered wings
The robin was gone
And only I saw this bird of spring
Sing one very last winter song
And who will miss you when you're gone
Who will miss you when you're gone
I will miss you if you go away
Please don't leave me here
Candle's burned out now
Stayed up 'til the wax dripped to the floor
I was talking to you can't seem to let go
So we say one thing more
And you're like rain falling in the evening
Whispering darlin' go to sleep
Oh the pain this love has got me reelin'
Brings me to my knees so bittersweet
And who will miss you when you're gone
Who will miss you when you're gone
I will miss you if you go away
Please don't leave me here
The good the bad the in-between
Is it all just one impermanent dream
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And here I am as the sun slinks slowly
In the pale steel sky and where are you
Are you thinking of me
As the moon above you does rise
And who will miss me when I'm gone
Who will miss me when I'm gone
Would you miss me should I go away
I won't leave you here
Would you miss me should I go away
I won't leave you here
