Canary Canary

Sorry songs, saddest sound that I heard
Beautiful pitiful little bird
You can lay words of love on a page
But you can’t lock her love in cage
Canaria canaria canaria canaria
Canaria canaria
Sorry songs, saddest sound that I heard
Desperate desolate little bird
Love can shine in the night like the stars
But you can’t keep its lights behind bars
Canaria canaria canaria canaria
Canaria canaria
Did she love all the mirrors and the clouds we cannot cross?
She did
Did she love the fragility of flowers and the birds?
She did
Did she love the freedom of an ending love?
Who can say
Sorry songs, saddest sound that I heard
Lonely and lonelier little bird
You’re aware, though your arms are her jail
That some day one will pay for the bail
Canaria canaria canaria canaria
Canaria canaria
Sorry songs, saddest sound that I heard
Miserable, mistreated little bird
You can lay words of love on a page
But you can’t lock her love in a cage
Canaria canaria canaria canaria
Canaria canaria
Did she love the passage of clouds in the front doorway?
She did
Did she love the fragility of flowers and the birds?
She did
Did she love the freedom of an ending love?
Who can say
Canaria canaria canaria canaria
Canaria canaria
