Birdcage - The Wallflowers

[00:22.31]So sad
[00:23.77]That you took it so badly
[00:27.56]And acted so madly
[00:32.91]So scared
[00:34.41]Like a baby by the morning
[00:38.49]With sunlight unfolding
[00:43.49]Your eyes have turned red
[00:47.24]And are holding me
[00:49.41]Inside your story
[00:54.66]In the end
[00:56.15]You'll be starting on a new one
[00:59.98]Of anguish and delusions
[01:16.81]He smiles
[01:18.46]Just like a magician
[01:21.8]Who's just cast his illusions
[01:27.229996]Of castles and sandstones
[01:30.479996]On the backbeach
[01:32.67]And bright lights
[01:34.45]Within your reach
[01:38.020004]The sounds
[01:39.490005]Of a warning
[01:41.4]By the morning
[01:43.41]Of hound dogs coming for me
[01:48.43]With the ropes
[01:50.9]Leading back to your knees
[01:54.33]And you lookin' straight at me
[01:59.72]On your knees in the rain
[02:01.18]With a basket of flowers
[02:03.33]Just for me
[02:06.39]As the bells in the trees up above
[02:09.22]All swung and rang softly
[02:13.24]You said you rang them for me
[02:16.9]For me
[04:08.67]Come back baby bird
[04:11.96]With your dirty wings in tatters
[04:16.89]Come home where you belong
[04:19.98]Nobody knows you better
[04:25.1]Now bring back your velvet heart
[04:28.07]And we'll make you brand new feathers
[04:33.96]Sleep through the morning light
[04:36.29]With your arms around your brother
[04:39.9]Baby bird
[04:43.96]Come back home
[04:48.1]Baby bird
[04:51.89]You were never really on your own
[04:57.66998]Now outside faces cry
[05:00.92]With the tears of lonesome orphans
[05:05.89]And behind every mask
[05:09.96]Is the face of another
[05:14.23]Wherever you have been
[05:17.84]Wherever you took cover
[05:22.0]No arms that pulled you in
[05:25.42]Could hold you like your mother
[05:29.27]Baby bird
[05:33.29]Come back home
[05:37.4]Baby bird
[05:41.19]You were never really on your own
[06:03.44]When all my colors fade
[06:06.89]And my wings, they've turned to leather
[06:11.65]I'll know the reasons why
[06:14.66]God let me get older
[06:19.69]When all my days are through
[06:23.48]And I fly these hills no longer
[06:27.86]I'll lay beneath the stars
[06:31.24]And I'll watch you flying over
[06:34.68]Baby bird
[06:38.7]Come back home
[06:42.83002]Baby bird
[06:46.71]You were never really on your own
[06:50.91998]Baby bird
[06:55.03]Come back home
[06:59.09]Baby bird
[07:03.07]You will never be all alone
