Travis – The Cage

You broke the bread

We drank the wine

Your lip was bleedin’ but it was fine

Come on inside, babe, across the line

I love you more than I

But then this bird just flew away

She was never meant to stay

Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring

You broke your word

Now that’s a lie

We had a deal that you would try

Come on inside, girl, I think it’s time

High time we drew the line

But then this bird just flew away

While I looked the other way

Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring

Oh you broke my soul

Dear you stole the plot

You left an empty shot

There’s nothing left here ‘cos you took the lot

An empty cage is all I’ve got

‘Cos when your bird has flown away

She was never meant to stay

Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring

To keep her caged would just delay the spring
