John Cale - Broken Bird Lyrics
Like a broken winged, like a broken birdShe senses every damn thing that's near herAnd nothing in the light of day could see howHer happiness faded awayHer happiness faded away with the nightAway with the dawnAs the sea faring gunThe fish and the heronWalking stiffly, the stalker of oblivionKeep me alive in thisStars at nightAnd they shine on you either wayBroken wing on the birdA broken wingHe did not have to breakOnly reading, reading the long signsAnd thinking, hellWhere his arm isJust sayingCould it be I'm just saying the safe thing againAnd, Ladies and GentlemenCan't reread on the helpLend me your fires, 'cause I'm broken wingedCould be anything, anythingAny day, any time or year or monthSatisfied, are you satisfiedNow that you're satisfiedDone it again
