Martha Scanlan - Little Bird Of Heaven lyrics

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 pa** 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 pa** 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
