She lay me down to rest

Falling by the water’s edge

And I fell silent to a kiss

And a wish of hers

And she stripped herself of all

Her earthly ties until

She was naked as when she was born

An angel

 

And I feel like I could break you

With the shadow of a lie

And I feel like I could make you

With a flicker of a smile

I don’t want to see you caged

I don’t want to see you caged

 

And she took me by the hand

And went to lead me as a child

And I fell hopelessly as she sank into the blue

To feel her mouth on you

To feel her skin on you

And taste her breath, it’s like

She’s breathing life into death

 

And I feel like I could break you

With the shadow of a lie

And I feel like I could make you

With a flicker of a smile

I don’t want to see you caged

I don’t want to see you caged

 

And the glint as she looks at you

As she tries to rearrange the view

‘cause her mind’s a torture box

Burning through her eyes

And I hold her as she weeps

Kiss her eyes and pray for sleep

Pray for sleep

 

And I feel like I could break you

With the shadow of a lie

And I feel like I could make you

With a flicker of a smile

I don’t want to see you caged

I don’t want to see you caged
