Word came through in a letter
One of us changing our minds
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do
Not send letters to me that are mine

I told you I saw this coming
That I'd practically packed up my things
I was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but
All honesty knows, I wasn't ready, no

And so here we go, bluebird
Back to the sky on your own
Oh, let him go, bluebird
Ready to fly
You and I
Here we go
Here we go

This pair of wings worn and rusted
From too many years by my side
Like a carnival ride in the rain
They can carry me, swear to be
Sturdy and strong but see
Turning them on still means goodbye

And so here we go, bluebird
Gather your strength and rise up
Oh, let him go, bluebird
Oh, let him go, bluebird
Oh, let him go, bluebird
Ready to fly
You and I
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
