Bird on a String - Nikki Kummerow

Oh sweet sorrow

My heart longs for you

For your sting is harsh but your burdens are few

You've warned my soul

Time and time again

I don't know why I let you go then

I caught a glimpse

And I stumbled in its wake

Closing my eyes to consequence and change

Hope for all time

It's always the same

We all know the trouble still remains

I am but a bird on a string

Arms out stretched as the walls cave in

So take these thoughts I'd rather not mourn

And I will fly away off into the dawn

Where are my words

Where are my words

I've left them on the lips of angels high and heard

So that they might whisper

Something sweet to God

That he might have mercy

On me and my heart

I am but a bird on a string

Delivering a song to the one without wings

So take these thoughts I'd rather not mourn

And I will fly away off into the dawn

I will surrender

Old love like new

Daylight brings slumber

It never brought me you

My heart now sleeps

You've opened up my eyes

I'll remember you for the rest of my life

I'll remember you for the rest of my life

I'll remember you for the rest of my life
