A Bird Without Wings by Celtic Thunder




      A Bird Without Wings 






Standard tuning
Capo on 2

                    A
Like a bird without wings
                 E
That longs to be flying,
                  D
Like a motherless child
                A   E  
Left lonely and crying.
                    A
Like a song without words,
                   D
Like a world without music,
                        A
I wouldn’t know what to do
                    E
I’d be lost without you
              A
Watchin’ over me.


(George sings harmonies here)


I get so lonely, when you’re away

I count every moment, I wait every day,

Until you’re home again

And hug me so tight

That’s when I know

Everything is alright.

                    A
Like a bird without wings
                 E
That longs to be flying,
                  D
Like a motherless child
                A   E
Left lonely and crying.
                    A
Like a song without words
                     D
Like a world without music,
                        A
I wouldn’t know what to do
                    E
I’d be lost without you
              A
Watchin’ over me.


(George sings harmonies here)


You’re my guardian angel

My light and my guide

Your hand on my shoulder

And you by my side.

You make everything beautiful,

You make me complete.

Everything in my world

I lay at your feet..


Like a church with no steeple,

Where a bell never rings.

In a town without people,

Where no voice in the choir ever sings.

If a boat on the ocean

Would be lost with no sail,

Then without your devotion

Surely all that I dreamed of would fail.


(George doing harmonies)


Like a song without words

Like a world without music,

I wouldn’t know what to do

I’d be lost without you

Watchin’ over me


I wouldn’t know what to do

I’d be lost without you

Watchin’ over me

Like a bird without wings
That longs to be flying,
Like a motherless child
Left lonely and crying.
Like a song without words,
Like a world without music,
I wouldn't know what to do
I'd be lost without you
Watchin' over me.

(George sings harmonies here)

I get so lonely, when you're away
I count every moment, I wait every day,
Until you're home again
And hug me so tight
That's when I know
Everything is alright.

Like a bird without wings
That longs to be flying,
Like a motherless child
Left lonely and crying.
Like a song without words
Like a world without music,
I wouldn't know what to do
I'd be lost without you
Watchin' over me.
