When 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
