Lalah Hathaway

As the bird who flies south
You must understand
Why I have to leave
Get away while I can

The weather has changed
If I'm to survive
I must go away

Like the waves of the sea
That cool the burning sand
Turning shores of the beach
Into faults of new land

The weather has changed
If I'm to survive
I must go away

I'm not the same
Girl you used to know
My feelings have changed
And inside me is a need to grow

The weather has changed
If I'm to survive
I must go away
