Out in the field where the fireflies dance
I sat with an upturned glass
Calm as a river
Inside
Her majesty a songbird sang
When in the well-bred dark
A man approached me
Asking
"And I was told that you could show me the way"
He confides nervously
And I behind my plain face
"There's so much I have to say
" sung the depths of him
I put a finger to his lips and pressed them shut like this
The dreams of his fathers
Were worth fighting for
Yielded results that they did not like to see
But they were worth it in the end
"And I was told that you could show me the way"
He confides nervously
And I behind my plain face
"There's so much I have to say
" sung the depths of him
I put a finger to his lips and pressed them shut like this
You never saw me in the first place
This isn't over quite yet
It's barely started
I am an offering and now you must take me
This is my song
I am the songbird needing freedom
