| When I was a bird
|
| Careless holding broke my wings
|
| And when I was a singer
|
| They took all there was to sing
|
| And when I was a boat
|
| Their boulders broke my bow
|
| When there was a question
|
| They never showed me how
|
| Now you’re my safe harbour
|
| You’re the smile I want to win
|
| You’ve got sweet sweet powers
|
| You’re the place I should have been
|
| Now I am a night bird
|
| And I know what song to sing
|
| You made me fly
|
| So straight so nobody sees I broke my wing
|
| And now that I’m full grown
|
| Even though I’m still a child
|
| Now my mind is peaceful
|
| And you’re loving keeps me wild
|
| 'Cause you’re my safe harbour
|
| You’re the smile I want to win
|
| You’ve got sweet sweet powers
|
| You’re the place I should have been
|
| Not I’m not a pebble dashed
|
| The breeze can blow astray
|
| And I’m not afraid now
|
| At the passing of each day
|
| 'Cause you’re my safe safe harbour
|
| You’re the smile I want to win
|
| You’ve got sweet sweet powers
|
| You’re the place I should have been |
