You wanted to be invisible So you got on stage Away from the crowds Back doors and bars your favorite place But singing is lonely And lonely is dark But under those bright lights You came alive You came alive Big eyes, small hands yes You sang so beautiful It made my heart hit the ground Bird on a wire You're a man on the verge You deserve To rest now Rest now Rest now 'Cause nobody knows, not even you The depth of your sadness Why that chain is dragging you You said it's best if we just listen to see ourselves In the eyes of strangers We will recognize Our own hotel, vast horizon Big eyes, small hands You sang so beautiful It made my heart hit the ground Bird on a wire A man on the verge You deserve To rest now Rest now Rest now In the eyes of strangers we will recognize Our own hotel, vast horizon
