Rock And Bird Lyrics by Cowboy Junkies
Album : The Caution Horses , Best Of Cowboy Junkies
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
She captured both rock and bird
Tied one to the leg of the other
Kept them as prisoner
Till they knew who was master
Then she threw them to the sky

Bird with unbarred wings disappeared
Rock with weighted heart returned
And rock became her anchor
And bird became her dream

And now she stands on the forest floor
Among the pines and towering firs
Rock still firm beneath her feet
Bird perched high above her
Singing songs of love's betrayal

I offered you my endless skies
You countered with hoods and chains
This song I sing will be the last
To be inspired by your memory
She captured both rock and bird   Tied one to the leg of the other   Kept them as prisoner   Till they knew who was master   Then she threw them to the sky      Bird with unbarred wings disappeared   Rock with weighted heart returned   And rock became her anchor   And bird became her dream      And now she stands on the forest floor   Among the pines and towering firs   Rock still firm beneath her feet   Bird perched high above her   Singing songs of love's betrayal      I offered you my endless skies   You countered with hoods and chains   This song I sing will be the last   To be inspired by your memory
