Bird On The Sea
Brendan Devitt
On the street
Feeling lonely like the bird on the sea
Or the actress in a cheap-seat mystery
Try to smile
Roman candle burned my eye
Now leaves flutter by on their way down
Many a verse
Addressed to no one in particular
Has ended badly for the protagonist
(You get the gist)
Love can't save you from yourself
Can love save you from yourself?
Love might save you in the end
You found me in a search
Just an afterthought, you typed in my last name
What had i become?
Then the local news
Had a piece they could not pass up
Market share, you found me on the air
What have i done to deserve anything?
Love can't save you from yourself
Love will save you from yourself
Love must save you, let it help
Love will save you in the end
