Lyrics
BIRD OF STONE
(Claire Ulanoff)
She was a bird, a wild free spirit
He was a rock, both feet on the ground
He said that taming was what she needed
She thought her love would bring him around
No big surprise, love never changed him
Ah, what she?d give to fly again...
She?s a bird of stone
Her colors fading, lost her song
She?s a bird of stone
She?s living life in shades of gray
Hard to face another day
Like a bird of stone
Deep down inside she still remembers
The beat of wings, the wind on her face
And any day now, she?ll stop pretending
That she don?t ache to fly away
That rocky road will reach an end
Her heavy heart will soar again
And that bird of stone
With colors blazing, will find her song
Not a bird of stone
No living life in shades of gray
She?ll never face another day
Like a bird of stone
That bird of stone will be going, gone
