Cage The Songbird

	作曲 : Elton John & Davey Johnstone & Bernie Taupin
	作词 : John, Johnstone, Taupin
	Sober in the mornin' 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
	Flyin' high above her head
	The cellophane still on the flowers
	The telegram still in her hand
	As whispers circulate all day
	Their back-stage baby princess passed away
	And you can cage the songbird
	But you can't make her sing
	And 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 dive like an eagle when she dies
	Promises 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 between the sheets
	Let down before the final curtain
	A shallow heart that left her cold
	She left in rouge upon the mirror
	A circled kiss oh, to the faithful fans who'd miss her
	And you can cage the songbird
	But you can't make her sing
	And 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 dive like an eagle when she dies
