Lyrics for Broken Bird
Like a broken rhyme, a broken bird She senses every thing that's near her And nothing in the light of day could see how Her happiness faded away Her happiness faded away with the night Away with the dawn as the sea faring galleon The fish and the heron Walking stiffly, with the stalker oblivion Keep me alive in the stars at night And they shine at you like the way Broken wing on the bird A broken wing, he did everything to break Only reading, reading the wrong signs And thinking, hell, where's the harm in just saying Could it be I'm just saying the same thing again? And, ladies and gentlemen, carry me down to hell Lend me, lend me your fires 'Cause I'm broken winged Could be anything Anything, any day, any time, any year or month Satisfied, are you satisfied? Now that you're satisfied You done it again
