Hey, Ladybird, ain't it just the way,â¨
the way that love grows cold and then fades away?â¨
Now when he touches you, make no mistake,
â¨the fire's long gone out and the ash has blown away.
You don't know how to leave
and you don't know where to fly.â¨
You don't know what you feelâ¨
but you know it's not satisfied today.
So many little ones, so many mouths,â¨
you've got a lot to feed and you know you don't know how.â¨
Making the best of it, somehow you're making do,â¨
making the best of the days that you stay â¨
and you wait in this cage they made for you.
You don't know how to leaveâ¨
and you don't know where to fly.â¨
You've got a lot of things to lose, â¨
so you've got a lot of things to hide.â¨
You know you don't believe
â¨but you know you've got to try today.
You know the sweetest wine, it's a witches' brew,â¨
pours like honey down and then burns a hole in you.â¨
Yeah, you may think you're done but you're never throughâ¨
spitting out the bitterness to get the little sweetness you do.
You don't know how to leave
â¨and you don't know where to fly.â¨
You've got a lot of things to lose, â¨
so you've got a lot of things to hide.
â¨You don't know what you feelâ¨
but you know it's not satisfied.â¨
You know you don't believe
â¨but you know you've got to try today.
Feel the winter bitterness;
â¨it's heavy on the wind,â¨
coming back again.â¨â¨
Maybe it's time to fly, time to fly away! â¨
When you gonna spread your wings and fly?
When you gonna fly away?
