Songbird

We were sitting at the table
And the sun was shining down
On your icy blue eyes and copper skin
We spoke about the things
That have meaning in our lives
But the words were just proxy for our sin

Desire emerges from some deep forgotten place
Like a songbird that's been caged and locked away

Songbird now you are free
To look upon the world through your own eyes
Songbird come and ride the wind and sea
Songbird won't you sing for me
Oh oh oh oh ----

I am but a witness
To her innocent return
Your gaze has lured her up from the deep
In the heat that forms between us
Only then she'll sing
Glory like the sun rising at dawn

So beautiful her voice, we are breathless, we are stunned
In this holy place we're even safe from death

Songbird now you are free
To look upon the world through your own eyes
Songbird come and ride the wind and sea
Songbird won't you sing for me
Oh oh oh oh ----
