  • Flying through the sky
    All our senses reeling
    Now you sit and cry
    At the shadows on the ceiling

    Songbird in a cage
    Wings that never flutter
    Once I saw a bird
    Pecking in the gutter

    Flying through the sky
    All our senses reeling
    Now you sit and cry
    At the shadows on the ceiling

    Songbird in a cage
    Someone that takes pity
    Opens up the door
    Fly above the city

    Someone still may come
    Someone who takes pity
    And through an open door
    You may fly above the city

    Songbird in a cage
    Stars will still be shining
    Through the bars of steel
    Picture how it was

    Flying through the sky
    All our senses reeling
    Now you sit and cry
    At the shadows on the ceiling

    Flying through the sky
    All our senses reeling
    Now you sit and cry
    At the shadows on the ceiling

    Flying through the sky
    All our senses reeling
    Now you sit and cry
    At the shadows on the ceiling Writer/s: Paul McCartney
