The Soprano & Midnight Wonderings

3 AM, wide awake again

And you come to me

Though you never leave

Wrapped in lace, paper crown

Wonder of you still

Have you found firm ground?

When caged birds get to sing

Does anybody get to hear them when they do?

When caged birds get to fly

Does anybody ever question why?

Sometimes when I'm awake at night

I think about it

The story of you

Sometimes when I'm awake at night

I think about it

The things that we lose too soon, too soon

Too soon

Ooh, I think about the things that we lose too soon

4 AM, so we talk again

Slipped your heart in these hands

Broken soul, hallowed land

So long alone, our shadows cast in stone

Every version of you

The ones I'm told, the ones I knew

When caged birds get to sing

Does anybody get to hear them when they do?

When caged birds get to fly

Does anybody ever question why?

Sometimes when I'm awake at night

I think about it

The story of you

Sometimes when I'm awake at night

I think about it

The things that we lose too soon, too soon

Too soon

Like you

I think about the things that we lose too soon
