Bird On A Powerline
Written By: Eric Erdman and Wendell Erdman

Clicking up the sidewalk with your phone in your hand
Stopped to check your heel by the newspaper stand
I'd like to think that I could be a part of your plan
but I know
You stopped at the coffee shop on Jackson and Eighth
Picked up a doughnut and a Café Au Lait
You never had a reason to look over my way
I know
I'm just a bird on a power line
Nothing to you
Just another one of 100 or two
I can't help but watching everything you do
I'm like a bird on a power line
I'd introduce myself but what would I say
My mind is empty as you are walking away
It's murder living with these crows another day
still I know
I'd fly right to you but I'm still as a stone
Just like the statues I spend my Wednesdays on
You brought Heaven here with you and now that you're gone
I know
I'm just a bird on a power line
Nothing to you
Just another one of 100 or two
I can't help but watching everything you do
I'm like a bird on Powerline
I wish that I hadn't seen you today.
It's hard to take.
I wish that I could look away but it's a hard habit to break for a
bird on a power line
Nothing to you
Just another one of 100 or two
I can't help but watching everything you do
I'm like a bird on Powerline
