Metal Bird - Maple Bee

Like a metal bird

With a cold, cold heart

Living in a tiny cage

One thing’s for certain

She will never fly away

Like a metal bird

With an old, old heart

Living in a tiny cage

One thing’s for certain

She will never fly away

She will never fly away

She will never fly away

Looking in the glass

And she’s wondering why?

Wondering all the chances

That have passed her by

Beauty has a price to pay

She will never fly away

Wondering at the river flooding

Flooding down her road

She’s soaking wet

And freezing to the bone

Warmth has a price to pay

She will never fly away

Wondering at the roses

That have grown so tall

Climbing creepers

If she climbs she’ll fall

Safety has a price to pay

She will never fly away

She will never fly away

Just like a metal bird

With a cold, cold heart

Living in a tiny cage

One thing’s for certain

She will never fly away

Like a metal bird

With an old, old heart

Living in a tiny cage

One thing’s for certain

She will never fly away

She will never fly away

Catch her in the birdsong

As they fly away

Catch on the riverbank

On a summer’s day

Catch her in a car shine

By the launderette

Running in the soapsuds

She’s down the drain again

Catch a little boat

To the other side of the road

Catch a little boat

Catch a little boat

Catch a little boat

To the other side

Going to sail the sea in the garden

She will never fly away

She will never fly away

She will never fly away

Just like a metal bird

With a cold, cold heart

Living in a tiny cage

One thing’s for certain
