Bird on a telephone wire
come down and sing to me
have you heard from my father
have you any news to bring

I know I´m not the only one asking
among wondering souls around here
can you shout it from the highest peak
or at least whisper it in my ear

I knocked on the door of my neighbor
To asked him if he had received
the holy key to heaven
my father promised to me

I´m not the only one asking
Among wondering souls down here
So brother if you know the answer
Please whisper it in my ear

I´m reaching for heaven
Down on my knees, down on my knees
Now I´m finally getting nearer to heaven
and nearer to thee

I know I´m not the only one asking
among wondering souls down here
can you shout it from the highest peak
or at least whisper it in my ear

Bird on a telephone wire
Come down and sing to me
