The Borrowers - Jaswant's Rain lyrics

There once was a girl who lived in a fairy tale A prince came along and gave her a golden veil He said you're a bird of painted gla** And he took her in his grasp He brings the rain down He took her away Carried her off in the night Built her a cage to keep her from taking flight And when she tried to ask him why Storm clouds seemed to fill his eyes He brings the rain down Look at us now I've been wondering how you can live with yourself don't you see that your nightingale' s bleeding She took all of your rage and she's broken the cage and she's leaving We're birds made out of broken gla** We glitter while the daylight lasts He brings the rain down
