As a matter of fact, I say it’s all true
She was black that day that I was blue
she came from nowhere on this lonely day
The thorn bird wasn\'t there
And then she came my way
I didn\'t know of the thorn bird
But then somehow, I did
She glided in and settled on the sill
She fluttered about and then she sat still
Her dark eyes were knowing
With a sparkly shine
I knew she was free
I felt she was kind
This beautiful morning, this glorious day
The thorn bird made me happy
And then she just
Flew away
That day I was blue
The thorn bird was black
I say it’s all true
As a matter of fact !
