Wheels fell off in Redding Realized I couldn't fly Somehow I keep forgettin' What it's like to be by my side I love you more than I have shown Like a bird with a broken wing... keeps on tryin' She tried so hard to love me Only to be denied I held her high above me We were swallowed by the tide I love you more than I have shown Like a bird with a broken wing... keeps on tryin' In thirteen years I hope to see you smile Free by my side, future open wide Feet to the fire From the ashes the wings are splayed Fly, fly away Untether yesterday Somewhere above the Sunset Her heart in smithereens Finally found the reason Why I must be free I love you more than I have shown Like a bird with a broken wing... keeps on tryin' It's a slow upward climb You're free to leave at any time And if you stay I'll keep you warm
