Lyrics for To Cry You a Song

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
