Letra de Cage The Songbird
Sober in the morning light Things look so much different To how they looked last night A pale face pressed to an unmade bed Like flags of many nations Flying high above her head The cellophane is still on the flowers The telegram still in her hand As whispers circulate all day Their backstage baby princess passed awayYou can cage the songbird But you can't make her sing You can trap the free bird But you'll have to clip her wings 'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies But she'll die like an eagleWhen she diePromises of no more lies Fell flat upon an empty stage Before the audience arrived A return in time to the cheaper seats She never knew what lay beneath Just a dated handbill they found beneath the sheets Let down before the final curtain The shallow heart that left her cold She left in rouge upon the mirror A circled kiss oh to the faithful fans Who'd miss herYou can cage the songbird But you can't make her sing You can trap the free bird But you'll have to clip her wings 'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies But she'll die like an eagle When she die
