Little Bird by Laura Marling Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, Rosie, where have you been?
I couldn't save you, but I tried, Rosie
I tried

[Verse 1]
Why did you run from everyone
Who only tried to love you? Rosie, only tried

[Chorus]
Little bird, if I only knew
Maybe I'd be more like you
With a feather in my wing
Is it spring?
Do I sing?

[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I like pleasure-pain
Of going and coming back again
What I leave behind
I come back to find
It's no longer mine
[Verse 2]
So why not run from everyone?
Who only tries to love you? Rosie, only tries

[Chorus]
Little bird, if I only knew
Maybe I'd be more like you
With a feather in my wing
Is it spring?
Do I sing?

[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I like pleasure-pain
Of going and coming back again
What I leave behind
I come back to find
It's no longer mine

[Chorus]
Little bird, if I only knew
Maybe I'd be more like you—

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
—With a feather in my wing
Is it spring?
Do I sing?
