I was a broken winged blue bird You had an empty shoebox I was back to flying high before I knew it I must a not have seen the glass What it was you'd been looking past I could only shatter your reflection And suddenly, it's me that needs mending Suddenly, I demand repair Your gentle heart distracts from what your mind wants For the chance to see me fly away up there I was a lonesome greyhound dog Hanging by your front lawn Panting wild in the August sun With saucer full of water A name and collar I became someone to someone And suddenly I don't need to run Suddenly it's me who's in repair Your gentle heart distracts from what your mind wants Just imagine if you weren't standing there Just imagine if you weren't standing there
