Please don't go and build a fence around your heart
Like you've done before when you're losing ground
I know I can't wait
I don't even have the strength to begin to imitate
The dying little bird you've saved

When the night breaks and the clouds shake
And your hopes ache to someday be redeemed

Please don't go and build a fence around your heart
Like you've done before when your losing grace
I know I can't wait
I don't even have the strength to begin to imitate
The dying little bird you've saved

When the night breaks and the clouds shake
And your hopes ache to someday be redeemed

Her face is a curtain of this truth I'm certain
I know I know I know

Please don't go and build a fence around your heart
Like you've done before when you're losing ground
I know I can't wait
I don't even have the strength to begin to imitate
The dying little bird you've saved
