[D] The
[E]
[F#] way I [Bm] feel [E] is like a robin [Em] [E] whose babes have [D] flown to come [Em] no more.
Like a tall oak tree [A]
[E] alone and crying [Em] when the [D] birds have flown and the nest [Em] is bare.
Now a woman, [Bm] Lord, is [E] like a young bird and the tall oak tree [D] is a young [E] man's [G] heart.
[E] Among [Em] its boughs [E] you will find her [Em] nesting.
When [E] the nights are [Bm] cool, [D] she is [E] warm and dry.
[Em] [E] Your coat [D] of green, [E] it will [Em] protect her.
[E] Her wings will grow, [Bm] your love [E] will too.
But all too [Em] [F#] soon your [E] mighty [Em] branches will cease to hold [Bm] her and she'll fly [E] from you.
