Lyrics
His luck would have it he came alive
Made his way to the other side
She lay down to hear him sing
Song of the bird with the broken wing
And as she waited for him to play
Dying candles burned away
She took her tears and kept them dry
Held the knot so he could tie
His heart in shapes and crooked bows
Close your eyes and keep them closed
Dirt inside the cracks of skin
Blood of iron, his heart of tin
Weakened breath laced with sin
Lamp that holds the light
Lamp that holds the light
And nothing beats and nothing moves
Gapes the wood against the stones
Windows cracked from the world below
Every lie that's ever shown
Comes apart from the words we've thrown
Lips undone by faith
Lips undone by faith
Well, he said the story was never true
He hoped it hurt, she hoped she knew
She believed in little things
Loved to cry when she heard him sing
The song of the bird with the broken wing
And the sunset called with dying sighs
Clouds hang 'round the darkened skies
Girl took the rivet from her eyes
She was blind but yet could see
She was blind but yet could see
Well, the harmony stretched, bent, and bent
Ripple hung across the air
There was no song that was left to hear
Boy had gone and she couldn't cling
To the song of the bird with the broken wing
To the song of the bird with the broken wing
