Lyrics
Gilded Bird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the night the hour did come
When all the treasures rich and fair
Seemed worthless to a restless girl
As she breathed superficial air
The lights that shone started to blind
This girl with an enquiring mind
Looking outside the cage she dreamed
The gilded bird began to sing
Hear me
The gilded bird will fly
On the streets she walked through gold
The precious things that could be owned
Empty promises of eternity
With every single pavement stone
The lights that shone started to blind
This girl with an enquiring mind
Looking outside the cage she dreamed
The gilded bird began to sing
Hear me
The gilded bird will fly
Flying so high
High flying so high
Back to the shoreline
High flying so high
Back to the shoreline
Back to the core
Hear me
The gilded bird will fly
