[Verse 1]
I will change
I will transform
I will turn myself
Into a bitter bird

[Chorus 1]
Bitter will I fly
Into your garden
And bitter will I sing
By the lilac tree

[Verse 2]
I will change
I will transform
Don't shoot me down
This bitter bird

[Chorus 2]
Bitter will I fly
In through your window
And bitter stories will I
To your sister, tell

[Outro]
Oh, bitter sister, tell
What are your sorrows?
And ask of us of ours
