Bird On Broken Wing

Down on her street, I've got someone

I really want you to meet

In good time, like all things

A prayer for a plum

Up all night waiting for the mail to come

In a lightless window

I've been afraid to depend on love

And it's fare thee well, my friend

I'll see you at the promised land

Where the wind is laughter

And that home we never made

Is waiting in the desert shade

Happily ever after

Down on her street, I've got someone

I really want you to meet

In good time, like all things

Step into place, take my heart

Put it in a pillowcase

It's been still for hours

We can get high down on Old Kings Road

And watch as the lights explode

I can get lost if you want me to

And it's fare thee well, my friend

I'll see you at the promised land

Where the wind is laughter

And that home we never made

Is waiting in the desert shade

Happily ever after

Like a bird on broken wings

I've been so afraid to sing

All my life I've wanted

In this violent world that spins

I've been so afraid to live

By the light of comets
