White Bird Lyrics
[Verse 1]
White bird in a golden cage
On a winter's day, in the rain
White bird in a golden cage
Alone
[Verse 2]
The leaves blow 'cross the long, black road
To the darkened sky in its rage
But the white bird just sits in her cage
Unknown
[Chorus]
White bird must fly, she will die
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The white bird dreams of the Aspen tree
With her dying leaves turning gold
But the white bird just sits in her cage
Growing old
[Chorus]
White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die
[Bridge]
The sunsets come, the sunsets go
The clouds roll by, and the Earth turns slow
And a young bird's eyes do always glow
And she must fly
She must fly
She must fly
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
White bird in a golden cage
On a winter's day, in the rain
White bird in a golden cage
Alone
[Chorus]
White bird must fly, she will die
White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly, she will die
[Outro]
White bird must fly
