Juan Olivarez - A Canary In A Lime Tree

A canary in a lime tree,
Poured out his heart.
And all could see,
His happiness depart.

His song of sorrow,
reached the soul.
No more tomorrows,
Just bitter cold.

He was left alone,
In the cold, cruel world.
Just singing his song,
As his world unfurled.

Longing for the one,
That he loved so.
As the dying sun,
Just ceased to glow.

His soft, sweet song,
Made my tears flow.
Cause I felt alone,
As I watched him go.

Flying off all alone,
His heart torn in two.
To an empty home,
Feeling lonely and blue.
