If I leaveif I flyout the window into the night
Whose arms are gonna hold youwhose heart will beat against your breast?

If I runinto those wild wild treesif I find something to set my me free
Whose lips are going to taste you__replace me in your dreams?

I can’t go___Leave this nest
Like a baby bird_ I ain’t ready yet

If I falla swift descentfrom steeple spires unto the bitter end
Who else will ever love you__like I did?

I can’t go___Leave this nest
Like a baby bird_ I ain’t ready yet

When dark clouds gatherabove my headwho is gonna save me
When there is nothing left
Who else will hold me__when all is spent?

I can’t go___Leave this nest
Like a baby bird_ I ain’t ready yet

From this height
This vantage point
From this state of mind
And this moment on

In all possible worlds
With the best of will
And by common consent
I ain’t ready yetLike a baby birdI ain’t ready yet
