Am G Am
The way I feel is like a robin
Am G Am
Whose babes have flown to come no more
Am G Am
Like a tall oak tree alone and crying
Am G Am
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
Am G Am
Now a woman Lord is like a young bird
Am G Am
And the tall oak tree is a young man’s heart
Am G Am
Among its boughs you’ll find her nesting
Am G Am
When the nights are cool she is 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 crying
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
The way I feel is like a robin
Am G Am
Whose babes have flown to come no more
Am G Am
Like a tall oak tree alone and crying
Am G Am
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
Am G Am
Now a woman Lord is like a young bird
Am G Am
And the tall oak tree is a young man’s heart
Am G Am
Among its boughs you’ll find her nesting
Am G Am
When the nights are cool she is 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 crying
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
