Beautiful Cage

Was it brave of me 
To reach for the unreachable?
She dressed like an Indian goddess
And spoke like the wind
Blowing calm through my mind
Was I brave or was I blind
To hold out these hands
And say “come to me,
Shy bird in this cage will you come?”

Was it wise of me
To seek answer from lips made unspeakable?
All my questions, my intentions
To fill all my life’s empty holes
With words tired and numb
Was it wise or was it dumb
To hold out these hands
Demanding “stay with me
Lonely bird in this cage will you stay?”
Let’s go out tonight,
Flood the streets with our tears
And sad music
I don’t feel much like dancing tonight,
I think I’d rather cry
Oh I’m too numb to feel,
Is this where love holds a place for me?
This great gap in which
I don’t care if I live or I die

Was it right of me?
I swam the Atlantic to find her
In a white dress she stood,
I was breathless and powerless,
In awe!
Having waited so long
Was it right or was it wrong
To unleash my heart
And cry “come hold me,
In this beautiful cage we can lie?”
Shy bird, goodbye
