Travis - The Cage

From Album "The Invisible Band"

Track 6

You broke the bread

You drank the wine

Your lip was bleeding, but it was fine

Come on inside babe

Across the line

I love you more than I

But then this bird just flew away

She was never meant to stay

Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring

You broke your word

Now that’s a lie

We had a deal that you would try

Come on inside girl

I think it’s time

High time we drew the line

But then this bird just flew away

While I looked the other way

Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring

oh, oooh, oh oh ohhhhh, oh ohhhhhh

oh, oooh, oh oh ohhhhh, oh ohhhhhh

You broke my soul dear

You stole the plot

You left an empty shot

But there’s nothing left here

'Cause you took the lot

An empty cage is all I got

'Cause when your bird has flown away

She was never meant to stay

Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring

To keep her caged would just delay the spring
