Hi,
Last night in Vienna Leonard sang lyrics at the end of Bird on a Wire that I had never heard before. I fumbled for a pen and paper but most of the lyrics escaped me by the time I could write anything down.The song ended with the line:
"It was you belonging was made for"
and had an earlier line like "it was always for you".
Has anyone heard these lyrics before and/or does anyone know the full verses?
Let me know if you think I should be posting this in the Fall Tour section.

Bird on a Wire - new verses?
Re: Bird on a Wire - new verses?
I wrote them down in Bucharest (mentioned that in the Fall tour section, but no one seems to have noticed!), as far as I could understand they were:
"Don't cry, you were always the one/it was you that the longing was made for"
I'm not sure if I heard them in the other concerts or not, maybe others remember.

I noticed the change of lyrics too, but did not remember them exactly. I hope someone at the next concerts will pay attention and give us the exact verses.
