The One That Got Away

Words & Music Henri Grünbauer 2020


For a while you were a beauty on a branch
Sitting next to another one like you
Being well fed and being so playful
through the window you saw a world a new

R.: you’re the one that got away
The bird that took to the highest tree
You’re the one to escape the cage
The bird that deserves to be free

From one roof to another you explored
We didn’t know you could fly so high
You’re the brightest and the bravest
Now we wonder when time s gone by

R.: 

Last seen at a busstop of all places
After no responding to all our begging
To come down down the fifteen meters
yellow among the green last time we’re checking
