The Way I Feel (Acoustic)

The way I feel is like a robin

Whose babes have flown to come no more

A tall oak tree alone and cryin'

When the birds have flown and the nest is bareNow a woman Lord is like a young bird

And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart

Among its boughs you'll find her nesting

When the nights are cool she's warm and dryYour coat of green will protect her

Her wings will grow your love will too

But all too soon your mighty branches

Will cease to hold her she'll fly from youNow the way I feel is like a robin

Whose babes have flown to come no more

A tall oak tree alone and cryin'

When the birds have flown and the nest is bare

When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
