Em
For the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the robber whose bird has flown
G        A      C               Em
Catches nothing only grains of sand

All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow

Chorus:
B                             D E
The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
B                                A
Yes it's something we all have known

                      G
And the bird it has flown
                   F
To a place on it's own
                G
Somewhere all alone

Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me

Chorus

And the bird it has flown

Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me

Oh it's started snowing
Yes, it started snowing
