Little Bird of Heaven

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 pass 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 pass 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
