Crippled Bird 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 

Photos 

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
