Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm a bird and I've lost my wings
And the weather's closing in
I forget all the songs I'd sing
And the tree where I used to live
Is just bark and sticks
And the ground it's frozen
And all my friends who flew the nest
Have gone and now do their best
In the city and smoke
But I stayed and tried to find a path
Which was tricky without a map
And I got lost and I choked
When I was just bark and sticks
The city saved me
The city saved me
Why did I want to move so quick?
The city saved me
Now I've settled down, I've found the sky
And you're here by my side
Hand in hand we tow the line
Now I'll not look back for the fear
and remember all the tears
And hope the sky stays clear
And sadness is relative
In how much you give
To the life you live
And if you find yourself asking how
You need to find the rhyme
And you can truly fly
When I was just bark and sticks
The city saved me
The city saved me
Why did I want to move so quick?
The city saved me
The city saved me
And as I try to work out what went wrong
You're broken, my love gone
Because when I was just bark and sticks
The city saved me
As I grow older, I know you
Won't shoulder the blame for
When i crossed the line
I'm not sure I'll be fine
And now I can't see, the darkness blinds me
And turns on me, the daylight fades
Can it ever be the same?
When I was just bark and sticks
The city saved me
The city saved me
Why did I want to move so quick?
The city saved me
The city saves me
The city saves me, oh
The city saves me
