Rock And Bird

She captured both Rock and Bird tied One to the leg of the other kept them as prisoners Until they knew who was master Then she threw them to the sky Bird With unbarred wings disappeared Rock With weighted heart returned And rock became her anchor And bird became her dream Now she stands on the forest floor Among the pines and towering firs Rock still firm beneath her feet Bird perched high above her singing songs of love's betrayal 'I offered you my endless skies you countered with hoods and chains This song I sing will be the last to be inspired by your memory' --- Rock and Bird - Cowboy Junkies
