A robin came in after you had died
The little bird is missing you like me
After hopping round, away birds fly
You sat there in the kitchen looking kind
The birds were eating crumbs left from our tea
The robin looked in after you had died
Should I see it as a subtle sign?
Once a bird tapped on the window here
I knew the meaning as I sadly sighed
After hopping round, away birds fly.
Their delicacy, their size haunts me like fear
The robin looked in after you had died
I wish the bird had stayed a little while
I wish I were up North near Windermere
On a boat that sails till my heart smiles
Oh, for another one to share , to steer
I miss your hands so warm and once so near
A robin called by after you had died
With your soaring soul the small birds fly
