Lyrics

BIRD OF PREY (Salisbury version)

This version has slightly different lyrics than the original version.

I can see that look that says beware

Try to move in closer if you dare

So I must sit and play

My waiting game

And for a while I know

She'll do the same

Fly away

Watches like an eagle from its eyrie

And like a bird of prey

She captures me

But I am older and

More wise than you

Bird of prey

Straight into me you flew

Fly away

Now every time I tried to set her free

I'm glad to say she comes

Right back to me

But if I knew she didn't want to stay

I wouldn't try to keep that

Lovely bird of prey
