Lyrics

Trembling slightly, she makes her way downstairs
Picks up the ticket from the mantelpiece
Looks over her shoulder and prays
The broken down kitchen door won't creak

A bird may be beautiful walking like me and you
But that ain't what a bird's supposed to do
She needs to spread her wings, sing out the day
Then fly away, fly away.

Silently waking you reach across the bed
Pick up the letter with a painful sigh
Then you finish reading and pray
This broken down heart of yours won't die

A bird may be beautiful walking like me and you
But that ain't what a bird's supposed to do
She needs to spread her wings, sing out the day
Then fly away, fly away.

Ain't it funny how your selfishness and rage
Turned out to be the key to this bird's cage

A bird may be beautiful walking like me and you
But that ain't what a bird's supposed to do
She needs to spread her wings, sing out the day
Then fly away, fly away from you!
