[Verse 1]
In the circle of your arms
I could have set the sun in silver
And made for you a ring so fine
If we had grown together, babe
We might have made it to the seashore
And left this muddy river far behind

[Chorus]
Ah, but I couldn't find the key
That would unlock these chains of mine
And my songs were not complete enough to sing
I could only feel your music
One line at a time
And there's no chance for a bird without wings

[Verse 2]
If only I had read
The meaning that your eyes hеld
As they shone like diamonds burning in thе dawn
But the raindrops in my own
Changed the colour of the sky
And I just sat and helplessly looked on

[Chorus]
So I'll go on worshipping
My world of faded dreams
Though the church bells are of lead and will not ring
And to those who try to tell themselves
I am more than what I seem
I say what good is a bird without wings?
