Bruce Cockburn - Bird Without Wings lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - Bird Without Wings lyrics]
In the circle of your arms
I could have set the sun in silver
And made for you a ring so fine
If we had grown together, babe
We might have made it to the seashore
And left this muddy river far behind
Ah, but I couldn't find the key
That would unlock these chains of mine
And my songs were not complete enough to sing
I could only feel your music
One line at a time and there's no chance for
A bird without wings
If only I had read
The meaning that your eyes hеld
As they shone like diamonds
Burning in thе dawn
But the raindrops in my own
Changed the colour of the sky
And I just sat and helplessly looked on
So I'll go on worshipping
My world of faded dreams
Though the church bells are of
Lead and will not ring
And to those who try to tell themselves
I am more than what I seem
I say what good is a bird without wings?
I could have set the sun in silver
And made for you a ring so fine
If we had grown together, babe
We might have made it to the seashore
And left this muddy river far behind
Ah, but I couldn't find the key
That would unlock these chains of mine
And my songs were not complete enough to sing
I could only feel your music
One line at a time and there's no chance for
A bird without wings
If only I had read
The meaning that your eyes hеld
As they shone like diamonds
Burning in thе dawn
But the raindrops in my own
Changed the colour of the sky
And I just sat and helplessly looked on
So I'll go on worshipping
My world of faded dreams
Though the church bells are of
Lead and will not ring
And to those who try to tell themselves
I am more than what I seem
I say what good is a bird without wings?
