flying so high, trying to remember
how many cigarettes did i bring along?
when i get down i'll jump in a taxi cab
driving through london town
to cry you a song.
its been a long time --
still shaking my wings.
well, i'm a glad bird
i got changes to ring.
closing my dream inside its paper-bag
thought i saw angels
but i could have been wrong.
search in my case,
can't find what they're looking for.
waving me through
to cry you a song.
its been a long time --
still shaking my wings.
well i'm a glad bird
i got changes to ring.
lights in the street,
peeping through curtains drawn.
rattling of safety chain taking too long.
the smile in your eyes was never so sweet before --
came down from the skies
to cry you a song
a song.
