Borrowers - Jaswant's Rain lyrics

rate me

There once was a girl who lived in a fairy tale<br />

A prince came along and gave her a golden veil<br />

He said you're a bird of painted glass<br />

And he took her in his grasp<br />

He brings the rain down<br />

He took her away<br />

Carried her off in the night<br />

Built her a cage to keep her from taking flight<br />

And when she tried to ask him why<br />

Storm clouds seemed to fill his eyes<br />

He brings the rain down<br />

Look at us now<br />

I've been wondering how you can live with yourself<br />

Don't you see that your nightingale' s bleeding<br />

She took all of your rage and she's broken the cage<br />

And she's leaving<br />

We're birds made out of broken glass<br />

We glitter while the daylight lasts<br />

He brings the rain down
