Birdcage

So sad that you took it so badly

And acted so madly

So scared

Like a baby by the morning

With sunlight unfolding

Your eyes have turned red

And are holding me

Inside your story

In the end

you'll have started on a new one

Of anguish and delusions

He smiles

Just like a magician

Who's just cast his illusions

Of castles and sandstones

On the backbeach

And bright lights

Within your reach

The sounds

Of a warning

By the morning

Of hound dogs coming for me

With the ropes leading back to your knees

And you looking straight at me

On your knees in the rain

With a basket of flowers

just for me

As the bells in the trees up above

All swung and rang softly

You said you rang them for me

For me
