Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
It's been a long time
Still shakin' my wings
Well, I'm a glad bird
I got changes to ring
[Verse 3]
Closing my dream inside this paper bag
Thought I saw angels but I could have been wrong
Searchin' my case, can't find what they're looking for
Waving me through to cry you a song
[Verse 4]
It's been a long time
Still shakin' my wings
Well, I'm a glad bird
I got changes to ring
[Verse 5]
Lights in the street, peeping through curtains drawn
Rattling my safety chain, taking too long
The smile in your eyes was never so sweet before
I came down from the skies to cry you a song
