dan baker - mrs carter كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
the truth is but a bird
it’s just occurred to me
we mustn’t tie it down
with a tether
and clip it’s feathered wings
let it move and let it fly
never utter stilted lies
and undermine it
or define it
just pray that you can find
when you need to it descends
it’s words you cannot comprehend
til later
when you’ve paid for it
you never should’ve waited
all this time

[verse 2]
behind the glow of the picture show
she doesn’t love this man
she’s just an actress
in a black dress
now torn, forlorn
and draped across the backrest of an unfamiliar chair
and she flicks back her hair
for yet another lover
she is yet to uncover
just dealer’s gram of proof
of the lonely bird of truth
freedom is 16 liquid ounces away

[chorus]
so dream all you must
but who’s self defeating feeling we trust
if you see what i see
the night is as real as it needs to be
please mrs carter
don’t let your daughters
see you like this

[verse 3]
your crystal cradle gleamed
as it floated down the stream
old man fisher saved you and your sister
as truth it had foreseen
these people raised you well
until you heard the steeple’s bell
you left to find your heaven
but you would have to p-ss through h-ll
the witch cursed your defiance
when you k!lled the tower’s giant
it took seed to thank the hour
for the king, he saw you well
you heard the whispers through the pine
the endless list of birdly chimes
you were stripped of all your anguish
when they gave to you their langauge

dadadadadadada
dadadadadadada
dadadadadadada
oh no, no

[verse 4]
if my world is but a dream
just a mundane movie scene
then it’s about time that i climbed
through the television screen
and shake the hand of the man
who is writing all the lines
abandoning the children
and toying with my time
oh well your mind, he says your mind
you should’ve seen the signs
with every dollar you must spend
well you can only make a dime
and well i suppose he makes some sense
yes i know there are some dents
what of science? what of maths?
what of death and love, romance?
it’s a chance that we’ve been given
to love and dance and drink more wine
so do what brings you peace
and let your tragedy shine, shine, shine, shine

[chorus]
so dream all you must
but who’s self defeating feeling we trust
if you see what i can see
the night is as real as it needs to be
please mrs carter
don’t let your daughters
see you like this
