A figure made of clay
And think about the things I lost
The things I gave away

Bird alone, flying high
Flying through a clouded sky
Sending mournful soulful sounds
Soaring over troubled grounds

Always some other, someone I could be
All the things to know, all the ways to go
To fly a spirit for to stage the show

Like in the stories I was told

And we found true love at last
