Bird on the Wire

Bird on the Wire

A Chapter by Shawn Purcell
"

A song about being far away...

"

Bird on the wire, fly me home.

Take me all the place we’ve been and gone.

Cuz’ a love like ours is few and far between.

I swear my love I was never so complete.

And I walked away. And all the time crashing

I left a piece of me when I left you,

And I’m so far away,

But I love you so.

Bird on the wire, fly me home.

 

Bird on the wire, fly me home

Baby, it’s been way too long.

I'm sorry it took me, I'm way passed over due

It was another life, another place lost in time.

It's all for the best. That's all it is in the end

My fingers failed to grip but fell short on your lips

As I turned to say,

"Baby, I love you so."

Bird on the wire fly me home.

 

Bird on the wire, fly me on

Take me all the places we’ve been and gone.

I count the white lines up and down

And when it didn’t work out

I’d still wait for four o’clock and half passed the hour

It’s half passed the day and I can’t wait to hear you say

You’re so far away, baby,

But I love you so.

Bird on the wire fly you home.

 

Bird on the wire, fly me home

I've been gone long I know.

She says, “It isn’t fair, and I never get to see you

Come a little closer, baby, there’s so much I need to tell you.

“You make life worth living. You’re the reason I’m alive.

And let all the stars fall like rain drops on your eyes.”

You looked into the black hole and I looked to the dark sky.

But its at the end, I know.

Bird on the wire fly me home.
