Lie Di Die
by James Hill and Chris Parsons

Ooo ooo...

Glass elevators, tightrope serenaders
Nothing could ever compare
With the height that you took me to with your "I love yous"
And with the smell of your hair

Rumblin' like a rocket
Powerless to stop it
Bright as a night in Times Square
My worries grew smaller the higher we flew
I didn't have time to be scared

But a flight is just a fall you walk away from
You walked away...

And my heart is singing "Lie di die, di die, di die"
Tonight in its cage
Like a little bird with a broken wing
Who might fly again someday

Ooo ooo...

Now my heart is like leather, tough as the desert
Worn as a medicine ball
Would you believe me if I told you he once
Had a the voice of a porcelain doll?

The words are long-gone but if you draw near
You can still hear his song through the wall
Chickadee may you warble on sweetly
Until I'm as grey as Old Montreal

A flight is just a fall you walk away from
You walked away...

My heart is singing
"Lie di die, di die"
Like a little bird...

Oh, a flight is just a fall you walk away from
You walked away...

And my heart is singing "Lie di die, di die, di die"
Tonight in it's cage
Like a little bird with a broken wing
Who might fly again someday
Like a little bird with a broken wing
Who might fly again someday

Ooo ooo...
