Bird That I Held In My Hand Songtext / Lyric

If you look out your window as the sun's going down

I'll be there by the side of the road

And I'll ride you away from this dirty old town

And never again leave you alone






For you were the bird that I held in my hand

Till I learned to fly on my own

You're a garden in this God forsaken land

And the only true love I have known



The morning was freezing the sky was still dark

When I last laid eyes upon you

Oh, I know the ache you have held in your heart

For darling, I have felt it too



For you were the bird that I held in my hand

Till I learned to fly on my own

You're a garden in this God forsaken land

And the only true love I have known
