To Cry You A Song lyrics

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.

[Chorus:]

It's been a long time

Still shaking my wings

Well, I'm a glad bird

I got changes to ring

Closing my dream inside its paper-bag

Thought I saw angels but I could have been wrong

Search in my case, can't find what they're looking for

Waving me through to cry you a song

[Chorus]

Lights in the street, peeping through curtains drawn

Rattling of safety chain taking too long

The smile in your eyes was never so sweet before

Came down from the skies to cry you a song
