Wh
en I was a bird.
Careless holding broke my wings.
And when I was a singer.
They took all there was to sing.
And when I was a boat.
Their boulders broke my bow.
When there was a question.
They never showed me how.
Now you're my safe harbour.
You're the smile I want to win.
You've got sweet sweet powers.
You're the place I should have been.
Now I am a night bird.
And I know what song to sing.
You made me fly.
So straight so nobody sees I broke my wing.
And now that I'm fullgrown.
Even though I'm still a child.
Now my mind is peaceful.
And you're loving keeps me wild.
'Cause you're my safe harbour.
You're the smile I want to win.
You've got sweet sweet powers.
You're the place I should have been.
Not I'm not a pebble dashed.
The breeze can blow astray.
And I'm not afraid now.
At the passing of each day.
'Cause you're my safe safe harbour.
You're the smile I want to win.
You've got sweet sweet powers.
You're the place I should have been
