Little Bird
I put it in a cage
My pretty little bird
That it might learn to love me
It sang a perfect song
That only I heard
So I thought it sang for me
I sat it on my shoulder
And there it would stay
Until the sky turned black
One day I left the window open
Little bird flew away
And Pretty, no...
Pretty never came back.
Later, waiting in the quiet still
Well that tore my heart in two
So I climbed up to the window sill
And off I flew
I woke up in your gentle arms
As you scooped me off the floor
You said I'd never come to any harm
And then you closed the door
Now I sit here in the
Cage of your making
My choking sorrow blue
Your little bird
With the broken wings
And I might learn to love you
You put me on your shoulder
Chose my ankle ring -- Oh!
Choking sorrow blue
I lost my Pretty long ago
And I no longer sing -- so
I'll close the window for you
I'll close the window for you
