I saw a bird fly away Song Lyrics
I saw a bird fly away by Dar Williams I asked the habitual party goer
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
And 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
And I saw a bird fly away, and I could not ask again
He fell in the mud and he became enlightened
I wonder who's laughing now
And I've been running uphill, panting, punching at the air
Fighting what's been pushing me down like I can see it there
And so I asked the light of the day,
what's this rush for heaven
And I saw a bird fly away and I could not ask again
And I saw all this climbing, climbing,
just as far from heaven
And I saw a bird fly away, and I started climbing again.
Who's laughing now
He fell in the mud and he became enlightened,
I wonder who's laughing now
