If a bird broke its beak Would its song be small and weak? Would it be known as just the same Or be a bird only in name? At a loss for words It's beyond belief You were known to me then Like I hear most songs Well the words they would rhyme Just move along Maybe there's a cause that's without effect Maybe there's some truth that's without a fact Then you came along, drew some lines The only thing I'm guilty of is killing time And I regret The flames on leaves Erase the tower in Tennessee Where we met I lost my nerve Tell me why it was now, we'd bear a child In the cold with the wolves and a rat gone wild When times were tight watch the dawning twilight In the shame in between witness the Sun salient scream Maybe there's a cause that's without effect Maybe there's some truth that's without a fact Then you came along, drew some lines The only thing I'm guilty of is killing time If a bird broke its beak Would its song be sad and weak? Would it be known as just the same Or be a bird only in name? Then you came along, drew some lines The only thing I'm guilty of is killing time
