Bird on a Wire - Lyrics - Sarah Blasko

Sarah Blasko is an Australian singer-songwriter, musician and producer. From April 2002 Blasko developed her solo career after fronting Sydney-based band, Acquiesce, between the mid-1990s and 2001. She had performed under her then-married name, Sarah Semmens, and, after leaving Acquiesce, as Sorija in a briefly existing duo of that name. As a solo artist Blasko has released four studio albums, The Overture & the Underscore , What the Sea Wants, the Sea Will Have â which peaked at No. 7 on the ARIA Albums Chart, As Day Follows Night â which reached No. 5, and I Awake â which made No. 9.

Hurt like a bird on a wire You got cursed You got burnt Something that no one deserves Has broken your wings You forgot how to sing All the trouble it brings Trouble that it brings For the first time in your life you're coming home You can feel the strength returning to your bones Caught in a trap of desire You got lost You got shot with a bow And arrow to the heart Fashion your life like a battered wife Got some wood and a knife Wood and a knife For the first time in your life you'd make a home You'd work your fingers right down to the bone
