lyrics

bird

I
The winter trees are bending
Limbs heavy from the snow
As this rusty car goes winding down
That muddy, old dirt road

My thoughts are not quite clear
There are many things I know I’ll never know
And only one thing that I’m sure of
When it comes to you
I can’t let go

Though my lonely heart is aching
To you I shall sing
Not with the voice of an angel
But a bird
With broken wings

II
The crescent moon is weeping
And the stars have lost their shine
Darling, I still see your eyes each time
that I close mine

And my dreams are turning strange
So many things I know I’ll never know
And only one thing that I’m sure of
When it comes to you
I can’t let go

Though my lonely heart is aching
To you I shall sing
Not with the voice of an angel
But a bird
With broken wings

III
The wind is getting heavy
Sends shivers down my soul
And these empty days and lonely nights
They surely take their toll

And the seasons go on changing
There’s so many things I know I’ll never know
And only one thing that I’m sure of
When it comes to you
I can’t let go

Though my lonely heart is aching
To you I shall sing
Not with the voice of an angel
But a bird
With broken wings
