Petula Clark
Cat in the Window (The Bird in the Sky)
[Intro]
Fly away, fly away
[Verse 1]
There's a cat in the window
And he's watching all the birds go passing by
He'd love to fly out the window
Go where the wind goes and so would I
[Verse 2]
Like that cat in the window
Who keeps wishing for some wings to take a ride
I'd love to glide to a rainbow
Off where the clouds go dancing by
[Bridge]
And if I could fly
You wouldn't find me hangin' around
Watching the birds go by
[Verse 3]
Yes, the cat in the window
Has a tear in his eye
I should leave today, fly away
Why, why should I stay?
[Verse 4]
Like the cat in the window
Who keeps watching the birds
Go by from my window
If I could fly though
[Outro]
You won't find me
Don't even try to
