Dar Williams - I Saw a Bird Fly Away





 

Artist: Dar Williams
Album: The Beauty of the Rain
Title: I Saw a Bird Fly Away

I asked the habitual partygoer
Just how high she thought she'd get
And I asked the ethereal girls
If they were floating yet

And so I asked the light of the day
What's this rush for heaven
Then I saw a bird fly away
And I could not ask again

The tabloid-tainted actress knows
The myth of higher ground
The thing she got from playing a nun
She got from sleeping around

And so I asked the light of the day
What's this rush for heaven
Then I saw a bird fly away
And I could not ask again

And i've been running uphill panting
Punching at the air
Fighting what's been pushing me down
Like I can't see it there

And so I asked the light of the day
What's this rush for heaven
Then I saw a bird fly away
And I could not ask again

And I saw all this climbing, climbing
Just as far from heaven
Then I saw a bird fly away
And I started climbing again
