::: My Liverpool Bird :::

One day
A lovely little bird from Liverpool
Flew through my window
And landed in my life
She was as sweet as honey
Cute as a kitten
And sang for me
A most beautiful love song
But I couldn't hear it
The drums of my past were banging too loudly
I put her in a cage and
blew smoke in her direction.

she finally
started to choke
couldn't sing anymore
I was blinded by myself
didn't see the damage
I had caused until it was
too late. She tried hard to
unlock my heart but it was so

jammed shut she couldn't budge it
finally she got her voice back
and began her beautiful song
she flew into the night
and found
the love she needed

she started singing all the time.
it's sad
how I never felt her beautiful song
until she was flying out my window
I now have a tape of it

in my heart
and every time
I play it
I cry
