Song | I Saw a Bird Fly Away |
Artist | Dar Williams |
Album | The Beauty of the Rain |
作词 : Williams | |
I asked the habitual partygoer | |
Just how high she thought she'd get, | |
And I asked the ethereal girls | |
If they were floating yet | |
And so I asked the light of the day, | |
What's this rush for heaven, | |
And I saw a bird fly away, | |
And I could not ask again. | |
The tabloid-tainted actress knows | |
The myth of higher ground. | |
The thing she got from playing a nun | |
She got from sleeping around. | |
And so I asked the light of the day, | |
What's this rush for heaven, | |
And I saw a bird fly away, | |
And I could not ask again. | |
He fell in the mud and | |
He became enlightened | |
I wonder who's laughin' now | |
And I've been running uphill, | |
Panting, punching at the air, | |
Fighting what's been pushing me down, | |
Like I can see it there. | |
And so I asked the light of the day, what's this rush for heaven, | |
And I saw a bird fly away, and | |
I could not ask again. | |
And I saw all this climbing, climbing, just as far from heaven, | |
And I saw a bird fly away, and | |
I started climbing again. | |
Who's laughing now | |
He fell in the mud and | |
He became enlightened, | |
I wonder...who's laughing now |
