bruce cockburn - bird without wings lyrics

[verse 1]
in the circle of your arms
i could have set the sun in silver
and made for you a ring so fine
if we had grown together, babe
we might have made it to the seashore
and left this muddy river far behind

[chorus]
ah, but i couldn’t find the key
that would unlock these chains of mine
and my songs were not complete enough to sing
i could only feel your music
one line at a time
and there’s no chance for a bird without wings
[verse 2]
if only i had read
the meaning that your eyes hеld
as they shone like diamonds burning in thе dawn
but the raindrops in my own
changed the colour of the sky
and i just sat and helplessly looked on

[chorus]
so i’ll go on worshipping
my world of faded dreams
though the church bells are of lead and will not ring
and to those who try to tell themselves
i am more than what i seem
i say what good is a bird without wings?
