1. Bird of Prey (4:13)
I can see that look that says beware
Try to move in closer if you dare
So I must sit and play my waiting game
And for a while I know she'll do the same
Fly away
Watches like an eagle from its eerie
And like a bird of prey she captures me
But I am older and more wise than you
Bird of prey straight into me you flew
Fly away
Now every time I tried to set her free
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me
But if I knew she didn't want to stay
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey
Try to move in closer if you dare
So I must sit and play my waiting game
And for a while I know she'll do the same
Fly away
Watches like an eagle from its eerie
And like a bird of prey she captures me
But I am older and more wise than you
Bird of prey straight into me you flew
Fly away
Now every time I tried to set her free
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me
But if I knew she didn't want to stay
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey
