Joe Henry - This Is My Favorite Cage lyrics

rate me

Oh this is my favorite cage

It grows up around me like silver strands

Of briar and roses, wisdom and rage

To cradle my heart like a bird in your hand

Of briar and roses, wisdom and rage

This is my favorite cage

It grows up around me like silver strands

And cradles my heart like a bird in your hand

This is a beautiful war to be sure

A surrendering hero's name will be sung

Or scratched in the sand like some secret cure

When all else has failed and the battle feared won

Scratched in the sand like some secret cure

This is a beautiful war to be sure

A surrendering hero's name will be sung

When all else has failed and the battle feared won

This is a star more perfect than peace

A flash in the dark setting fire to trees

Wresting my faith down out of the eaves

Bending my will back up on it's knees

This is loveliest tumble from grace

Into the arms of what is unbound

From gravity's rule by a glimpse of your face

It sets to falling what will never touch ground

From gravity's rule by a glimpse of your face

This is loveliest tumble from grace

Into the arms of what is unbound

You set me to falling and I never touch ground
