crippled bird

Dolly Parton

A Broken Heart Like a Broken Wing
It Must Have Its Time to Mend
I Am Like a Crippled Bird
In Hopes One Day to Fly Again
I Loved You So and I Was Faithful
I Cared More Than Words Could Say
But Love Is Cruel and Life Is Hateful
Now You?ve Gone and Flown Away

Chorus:

Oh, to Die, ?twould Be a Pleasure
Slow to Heal, But Quick to Cry
Fragile As a Sparrow?s Feather
Crippled Bird Too Blue to Fly

Oh, the Loss Is Cold and Shameful
And the Grief So Deep and Sharp
There Is Nothing Quite As Painful
As a True Blue Broken Heart

Repeat Chorus

Fragile As a Sparrow?s Feather
Crippled Bird Too Blue to Fly
