Broken Bird Lyrics

BROKEN BIRD (Graham Nash/David Crosby) There's a story I'd like you to listen to. About a lady and a Broken Bird Broken by the hammer You took it so hard You hardly said a word Sending them back over the lines Whistling down the wire From pole to pole Bending them over the times Trying to burn the diamonds from the holy coal Telling this story slowly together Reading in the dark The bird that you saw dying We saw flying. David Crosby & Graham Nash "Whistling Down The Wire" Atlantic Records 1976
