Little bird
In a cage
You’ve been turning heads around
Yeah you played your part
You sang along
Under their instruction
Looking through the bars
Staring at the stars
Only love can heal the sickness of celebrity
One by one and day by day
See the good ones, they fall (?) away
See you standing there styling,
You know you should be soaring
I know that you said we could never be together
You’re too pretty and I'm too clever
Good morning heartache and oh these foolish things
Only love can break the sickness of simplicity
Love is the bread
Love is the wine
Love is the bread
Love is the wine
Love is the soul’s heart close
Love is the bread
Love is the wine
Love is the soul’s heart cold
Why, the caged bird always sings
Through the ages for the pleasure of the king?
Kneeling down with a thorn in your crown,
Calling out your name, you slip away
I know that you said we could never be
Together,
You’re too pretty and I'm too clever
Good morning heartache
Oh, these foolish things.
Only love can break the secrets of simplicity
Love is the bread
Love is the wine
Love is the bread
Love is the wine
Love is the soul’s heart close
Love is the bread
Love is the wine
Love is the soul’s heart cold
