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.
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.

It's been a long time --
Still shaking my wings.
Well i'm a glad bird
I got changes to ring.

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.
