David Crosby & Graham Nash - Broken Bird lyrics

rate me

There's a story I'd like you to listen to<br />

About a lady and a broken bird<br />

Broken by the hammer, you took it so hard<br />

You hardly said a word<br />

<br />

Sending them back over the lines<br />

Whistling down the wire from pole to pole<br />

And bending them over the times<br />

Trying to burn the diamonds from the holy coal<br />

<br />

Sending them over the lines<br />

Whistling down the wire from pole to pole<br />

Bending them over the times<br />

Trying to burn the diamonds from the holy coal<br />

<br />

Telling this story slowly together<br />

Reading in the dark<br />

The bird that you saw dying<br />

We saw flying
