Bird on a String Lyrics

[00:06.37]	Oh sweet sorrow
[00:10.57]	My heart longs for you
[00:17.90]	For your sting is harsh but your burdens are few
[00:26.93]	You’ve warned my soul
[00:31.39]	Time and time again
[00:38.82]	I don’t know why I let you go then
[00:49.33]	I caught a glimpse
[00:51.94]	And I stumbled in its wake
[00:55.60]	Closing my eyes to consequence and change
[01:01.13]	Hope for all time
[01:04.20]	It’s always the same
[01:11.37]	We all know the trouble still remains
[01:26.38]	I am but a bird on a string
[01:32.41]	Arms out stretched as the walls cave in
[01:37.93]	So take these thoughts I’d rather not mourn
[01:48.55]	And I will fly away off into the dawn
[01:58.94]	Where are my words?
[02:04.83]	Where are my words?
[02:09.17]	I’ve left them on the lips of angels high and heard
[02:18.11]	So that they might whisper
[02:22.55]	Something sweet to God
[02:30.20]	That he might have mercy
[02:32.90]	On me and my heart
[02:44.94]	I am but a bird on a string
[02:50.66]	Delivering a song to the one without wings
[02:56.38]	So take these thoughts I’d rather not mourn
[03:07.50]	And I will fly away off into the dawn
[03:47.12]	I will surrender
[03:53.60]	Old love like new
[04:00.37]	Daylight brings slumber
[04:04.88]	It never brought me you
[04:10.77]	My heart now sleeps
[04:15.90]	You’ve opened up my eyes
[04:22.62]	I’ll remember you for the rest of my life ×3
