Crippled Bird Lyrics & Tabs by Dolly Parton

Crippled Bird

guitar chords lyrics

Dolly Parton

A broken heart like a broken wing
It must have its time to mend
I am like a crippled bird

In hopes one day to fly again
I loved you so and I was faithful
I cared more than words could say
But love is cruel and life is hateful
Now you've gone and flown away
Chorus:
Oh, to die, 'Twould be a pleasure
Slow to heal, but quick to cry
Fragile as a sparrow's feather
Crippled bird too blue to fly
Oh, the loss is cold and shameful
And the grief so deep and sharp

Crippled bird too blue to fly
Oh, the loss is cold and shameful
And the grief so deep and sharp
There is nothing quite as painful
As a true blue broken heart
Repeat Chorus
Fragile as a sparrow's feather
Crippled bird too blue to fly
