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.
And she sang all night.
And in the morning, I awoke to find
I'd grown a smolder in my hearth
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 mend,
"A broken heart will learn the words to say.
We'll fly again someday."
It's like a window in my heart.
And I sang all night.
