Dar Williams - I Saw A Bird Fly Away Lyrics
I asked the habitual partygoer just how high she thought she'd get,And I asked the ethereal girls if they were floating yetAnd so I asked the light of the day, what's this rush for heaven,Then 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,Then I saw a bird fly away, and I could not ask again.And I've been running uphill, panting, punching at the air,Fighting what's been pushing me down, as if it's really there.And so I asked the light of the day, what's this rush for heaven,Then I saw a bird fly away, and I could not ask again.And I saw all this climbing, climbing, just as far from heaven,Then I saw a bird fly away, and I started climbing again.
