White bird id probably a pigeon. Pigeons represent young lovers. White pigeon is a bride, metaphorically speaking, a bride in white. Bird and bride replaced their roles, and that's, in my opinion, the most touching detail of the song.
Feather from my wings = a tear from my eye. Eyes= wings. She can only fly= see him, from the distance.
