(Gordon Kennedy/Phil Madeira)

Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations
Flyin' above the rest, never fallin' from the nest
Tuesday came and went and I'm in a little situation
Maybe it's for the best
I could live alone, I guess

Maybe I could stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe she'll fly on home

Excuse me if I'm keeping you apart from better conversation
Hung up on all my doubt
Trying to sort the whole thing out
Tell me that I'm smart enough to deal with all the information
Spinning inside my head
Every word she ever said

Maybe I could stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe she'll fly on home
