Lyrics
The Nest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The broken wing, it didn’t last a spring
You shoved me out, before the nest was cold
I couldn't fly, but, God, I tried
I hit the ground, and I was on my own
Alone in the big blue land
With only my legs to stand
And no one to lend a hand, or to pick me up
I see the sky, where you would fly
And I would wait for you so patiently
But I was weak, and soon I had an empty beak
I guess I wasn't worth the time
And I never had the chance
To float in a weightless dance
To swim in the great expanse above me
The gravity holds me down
I’ll never escape the ground
To live in the careless clouds where I belong
