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.
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
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
