I'll be flying home
To you blue eyes
And they won't clip your wings
In cages, cage

And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before
And they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean

Don't forget my song
Sing it louder, my love
Heard you land so strong
In arms
In arms

And I watched you grow
Collected your first feathers
And I made you a home
And I let you go

And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before
And they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean

And I raised you well
My first son
And they can set you free
Freer than here
And remember me
Only when you sleep
I'll be back for you
In cages
