Bird Cage
The wind pushed you as you rode your bikeThe scent of flowers, so strong to make you cough,Going down the 3rd hillSinging a bright summer's song like an idiotThat's the you I saw from the windowAs I put a curse on your body
Back thenBehind the cinema where boys liked to hang outIn that secret placeWe made blood oathsBecause we didn't know how strange it wasThere was nothing we couldn't do
"Yeah, whenever the grown-ups are worried, we don't know why"I muttered to a closed windowI kept secrets to myselfEvery night, you were in my dreamsAnd so I met you at church on the weekendI sulked and looked awayYou found me right awayWith the speed of school boys,We were laughing and became fast friendsLight shone through
I thought we'd always be be the same, but it wasn't like thatJust that day, that was the endA bird only peeked its eye through the bird cageWithout any dreams
Somehow I became an adult,if you see me nowFrom inside the bird cage, I say goodbye to youI say goodbye, countless timesI say goodbye, I said goodbyeEternal dreams, eternal shadow
