Little Bird Of Heaven Lyrics - Singles - Martha Scanlan

I lit out from your back door 

Kicked an old can fifty miles or more 

Written right there on the side of the can 

There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand 

I looked up, and I looked back 

Walked a hundred miles on the railroad track 

All's I can tell from where I stand 

There's a little bird of heaven right here in my hand 

Well love, they tell me is a fragile thing 

It's hard to fly on broken wings 

I lost my ticket to the promised land 

Little bird of heaven right here in my hand 

So toss it up, or pass it round 

Pay mind to what you're carryin' round 

Oh, keep it close, hold it while you can 

There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand 

Fallen hearts and fallen leaves 

Starlings light on the broken trees 

I find we all need a place to land 

There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand 

So toss it up, or pass it round 

Pay mind to what you're carryin' round 

Oh, keep it close, hold it while you can 

There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand
