Word came through in a letter,
One of us changing our minds
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do,
Not send letters to me that are mine

Told you I saw this coming,
That I'd practically packed up my things
Was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but,
All honesty knows, I wasn't ready, no

And so here we go bluebird,
Back to the sky on your own
Oh let him go bluebird,
Ready to fly,
You and I,
Here we go
Here we go

This pair of wings worn and rusted,
From too many years by my side,
They can carry me swear to be,
Sturdy and strong but see,
Turning them on still means goodbye

And so here we go bluebird,
Gather your strength and rise up
Oh let him go bluebird
Oh let him go bluebird
Oh let him go bluebird
Ready to fly,
You and I,
Here we go
Here we go
