Carrying Lightning - Love Be a Bird . Oh love be a bird I could use some flying now Oh love be a bird I could use some flying now . I can't move to take a step Or much less catch my breath You've caught me now . There's a concrete cloud hovering And the daylight's forever wearing Not a gale or any unharnessed Other wind could move me now . I've been fighting against the storm Screaming for a downpour, some relief you know . I hate you're so far away And that scratch you call a voice weighs heavy on me Conversations I repeat A simple night I constantly re-read . I can't move to take a step Or much less catch my breath You've caught me now. . Oh love be a bird I could use some flying now Oh love be a bird I could use some flying now
