| Song | Bird Of Paradise (Album Version) |
| Artist | Michael Franks |
| Album | Abandoned Garden |
| You appear on the horizon far away | |
| My desire to be there with you stirs the wind and fills the sense | |
| In the bay I drop the anchor down swim ashore | |
| On the beach the coconut palms, orchids, planchoniana and you | |
| Your silent eyes convince me I'm your own | |
| We're safe inside this agile blue lagoon | |
| I want to know you bird of paradise | |
| I want to show you of the love that I feel | |
| I need to touch you bird of paradise | |
| I need your touch to make this fantasy real | |
| On the sea a storm is raging far away | |
| And the ship like so many toys fear the wind and fight the waves | |
| In your arms it's a forgotten dream, nothing more | |
| Here the sky is perfectly clear, evening star the moonlight and you | |
| Your silent eyes convince me I'm your own | |
| We're safe inside this agile blue lagoon | |
| I want to know you bird of paradise | |
| I want to show you of the love that I feel | |
| I need to touch you bird of paradise | |
| I need your touch to make this fantasy real | |
| Just you and me [Incomprehensible] of dreams | |
| The bare necessities of love | |
| My bird of paradise, I realize | |
| But you were sent here from above | |
| You're my bird of paradise | |
| My bird of paradise | |
| Just you and me [Incomprehensible] of dreams | |
| The bare necessities of love | |
| My bird of paradise, I realize | |
| But you were sent here from above | |
| You're my bird of paradise | |
| My bird of paradise |
| You appear on the horizon far away | |
| My desire to be there with you stirs the wind and fills the sense | |
| In the bay I drop the anchor down swim ashore | |
| On the beach the coconut palms, orchids, planchoniana and you | |
| Your silent eyes convince me I' m your own | |
| We' re safe inside this agile blue lagoon | |
| I want to know you bird of paradise | |
| I want to show you of the love that I feel | |
| I need to touch you bird of paradise | |
| I need your touch to make this fantasy real | |
| On the sea a storm is raging far away | |
| And the ship like so many toys fear the wind and fight the waves | |
| In your arms it' s a forgotten dream, nothing more | |
| Here the sky is perfectly clear, evening star the moonlight and you | |
| Your silent eyes convince me I' m your own | |
| We' re safe inside this agile blue lagoon | |
| I want to know you bird of paradise | |
| I want to show you of the love that I feel | |
| I need to touch you bird of paradise | |
| I need your touch to make this fantasy real | |
| Just you and me Incomprehensible of dreams | |
| The bare necessities of love | |

| You' re my bird of paradise | |
| My bird of paradise | |
| Just you and me Incomprehensible of dreams | |
| The bare necessities of love | |
| My bird of paradise, I realize | |
