Broken Bird Lyrics - M:fans - John Cale

Like a broken winged, like a broken bird 

She senses every damn thing that's near her 

And nothing in the light of day could see how 

Her happiness faded away 

Her happiness faded away with the night 

Away with the dawn 

As the sea faring gun 

The fish and the heron 

Walking stiffly, the stalker of oblivion 

Keep me alive in this 

Stars at night 

And they shine on you either way 

Broken wing on the bird 

A broken wing 

He did not have to break 

Only reading, reading the long signs 

And thinking, hell 

Where his arm is 

Just saying 

Could it be I'm just saying the safe thing again 

And, Ladies and Gentlemen 

Can't reread on the help 

Lend me your fires, 'cause I'm broken winged 

Could be anything, anything 

Any day, any time or year or month 

Satisfied, are you satisfied 

Now that you're satisfied 

Done it again
