LYRICS
A SONG OF SORROW
She sang to me a song of sorrow,
I could see it in her eyes.
She gave to me a new tomorrow,
Clouded with goodbye.
Now I see her spread her wings,
I think she'll fly away.
Don't cage a bird that's meant to sing,
It only gives her more to say.
She shields the sun from a dying day,
Looks to me... I shrink away.
Her wings -- they flutter -- but she'll stay,
We've got our blinders in the way.
She rests her head upon my pillow,
Cries herself to sleep.
Something like a weeping willow
Plants itself to seed.
We've got a baby... that's enough,
To bind ourselves in chains.
A child needs a parent's touch,
Some things don't ever change.
She shields the sun from a dying day,
Looks to me... I shrink away.
Her wings -- they flutter -- but she'll stay,
We've got our blinders in the way.
I could see it in her eyes.
She gave to me a new tomorrow,
Clouded with goodbye.
Now I see her spread her wings,
I think she'll fly away.
Don't cage a bird that's meant to sing,
It only gives her more to say.
She shields the sun from a dying day,
Looks to me... I shrink away.
Her wings -- they flutter -- but she'll stay,
We've got our blinders in the way.
She rests her head upon my pillow,
Cries herself to sleep.
Something like a weeping willow
Plants itself to seed.
We've got a baby... that's enough,
To bind ourselves in chains.
A child needs a parent's touch,
Some things don't ever change.
She shields the sun from a dying day,
Looks to me... I shrink away.
Her wings -- they flutter -- but she'll stay,
We've got our blinders in the way.
