Little bird came into my life
When I’d forgotten how to sing
She had a broken wing, and on the night she came to me
She sang for me cinders from a spark
Little bird had a broken heart
She sang all night
In the morning I awoke to find
I’d grown a smolder in my heart
When it was cold and dark
Little bird came into my life when I’d lost sight of the spring
She was the little spark
So I stoked the fire
And I held her warm by it
And we sang all night
Little bird came into my life when I’d forgotten how to sing
I had a broken wing and all the while she sang to men
A broken heart will learn the words to say
We’ll fly again someday
So I stoked the fire
And I held her warm by it
And we sang all night
Just like a window in my heart
And I sang all night
