Why do birds fly away when you wish them to stay?
Oh what it would feel to be flying over cathedrals
Why can't I free the chains that are inside of me?
Oh what it would mean to be flying over cathedrals

Cathedrals on lonely nights
Will never see the dawn of the light
All my sins are going to thrive silently guilty here
Whenever you're near

Why do birds climb the sky before waving goodbye?
Oh what it would feel to be flying over cathedrals
Why can't I chaperone? must I go it alone?
Oh what it would mean to be flying over cathedrals
