Reeltime Travelers - Little Bird of Heaven lyrics

I let 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 Its 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 no mind to what you're carryin' round Or keep it close, hold it while you can There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand
