Lyrics

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
It's 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

It's 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
