My voice is broken
Got a broken string, a broken wing
And everything makes me wanna cry.
And my only love's gone away to stay
Can't even look forward to the end of the day
To come home to her at night.
Oh, Lord, give me peace
And put my sorry, singin', sad old soul to ease.
And bring me hope.
I need a little, just a little.
Give me strength.
I need a little, just a little.
An offering of faith.
I need a little, just a little.
Bring me hope.
I need a little so I can hold on.
A dreamer in a dark hotel
Like a silver coin drowin' at the bottom of a well.
The blue bird's back, singin' in the willow
Washin' his wings in the water in my pillow.
So wake me up in autumn leaves
To the part of me that still believes
There's beauty on the other side of the river.
Oh, Lord, give me peace
And put my sorry, singin', sad old soul to ease.
And bring me hope.
I need a little, just a little.
Give me strength.
I need a little, just a little.
An offering of faith.
I need a little, just a little.
Bring me hope.
I need a little so I can hold on.
Oh, get me out of this wishing well.
A dreamer dying in a dark hotel.
Break me out of this prison cell.
Only love can save me now.
