Hospital Ships - Bird In Furs lyrics

You were not some fawn That I dragged back from a hunt And laid on my lawn You were a bird, in furs soft and fine I kept in a cage Deep in my mine But I'm getting old, and dull is my knife And I am not The hunting type So sing your song, little bird, one more time And you can go Sing in the light And let your wings cut through the sky Like you cut Right through my eyes But I want you to stay with me tonight
