I burned her name into my mind, Saved the cage even though the bird flew away. I recall her form like the rolling waves But I still miss her so again today. The way she smiled was warm as summer, Just her presence livened my soul. But as days grew by I saw a lonely bird, In the cage was an estranged ghoul. So I let it go and let it free, Though inside hoping it'd stay with me. My friend rejoiced as she flew away, And I still miss her so again today. I thought she was a companion for life. For her I was elated, yet not so, I can only hope she does ever return Cos I never really let go.

Waiting with an Empty Cage
I burned her name into my mind, Saved the cage even though the bird flew away. I recall her form like the rolling waves But I still miss her so again today. The way she smiled was warm as summer, Just her presence livened my soul. But as days grew by I saw a lonely bird, In the cage was an estranged ghoul. So I let it go and let it free, Though inside hoping it'd stay with me. My friend rejoiced as she flew away, And I still miss her so again today. I thought she was a companion for life. For her I was elated, yet not so, I can only hope she does ever return Cos I never really let go.
