I won't be your cuckoo my love
Nor a thief on the wing
A shameful regret
Or a promise on a string
And I will follow your heart
Until you let me in
I'll never be your cuckoo my love
I won't be a lesson learned in spring

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't be a cuckoo my love
If you ever want to know
The beat of your heart
Or the depth of your soul;
I will color my life
With the courage that you've show me
To never be a cuckoo my love
And I will take this wish and bury it in the snow

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The river you didn't cross
Grows deeper everyday
And for the rest of my life
Are you the one that got away;
For we grow old
Would you show me the depth of your soul
And no we clip your wings
And we will build a home with the courage you have shown

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So put down your bow and arrow
Because time is on our side
I will be here in the morning
If there are fireworks tonight
This is the calm before the storm
The design is in your eyes
I'll never be a cuckoo my love
Oh I will take this wish and bury it in the snow (cuckoo my love)
I will build a home with the courage you have shown (cuckoo my love)
And I will take this wish and bury it in the snow (cuckoo my love)
And if you cross this river
I'm yours and yours alone
