|
She sang like a bird, high on a wire |
|
At every chance, soulful as she could |
|
And the words she chose where driven with such passion |
|
But sadly, I never understood |
|
She sang of God, but cursed like a sailor |
|
Had manners of a queen, but grew up poor |
|
With her broken mind she'd stare with no reaction |
|
She didn't know her name, or mine, or yours |
|
Hey, hey, hey |
|
Flying around this place |
|
Those days are lost in space |
|
Time goes, you know I know |
|
That all that's left are feathers and bones |
|
Many years can bring you all the wisdom |
|
Many years of memories all compiled |
|
Was cruel to have to watch her heart grow older |
|
While the rest of her turned back into a child |
|
Hey, hey, hey |
|
Flying around this place |
|
Those days are lost in space |
|
Time goes, you know I know |
|
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones |
|
Hey, hey, hey |
|
Scared and lost inside |
|
Like a black hole in your mind |
|
Sing low, I'm letting you go |
|
And all that's left are feathers and bones |
|
She sang like a bird, down to the wire |
|
My love, I hope she understood |
|
Hey, hey, hey |
|
Flying around this place |
|
Those days are lost in space |
|
Time goes, you know I know |
|
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones |
|
Hey, hey, hey |
|
Scared and lost inside |
|
Like a black hole in your mind |
|
Sing low, sing low |
|
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones |
|
all that's left are feathers and bones |
|
all that's left are feathers and bones |
