V1
Wakin' up in your prison cell-maybe word it as... no longer a home but a prison cell, you make coffee for the warden, then it will be clearer it is about a marrige..which I understood, but I can see how it could confuse.Makin' coffee for The Warden
Another day in your living hell
Across the table sits The Warden
Silent lips and painted smile
You gently kiss goodbye The Warden-maybe say it as you give a goodbye kiss to the warden
CHORUS
Close your eyes and you're in my arms again
Resting peacefully and safe until the enduntil the end is not quite clear as to what this means, maybe say, to be in a loveless marriage is a sin, a pretty bird is what you will be, the day he sets you free?? or the day you break freeA pretty bird is what you'll be
The day he sets you free- I just wonder why HE is the one who decides if she goes free,
V2
Bread and water meet your simple needs
So supplies The Warden
And it's his voice that you must heed
Thus dictates The Warden

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Your gilded cage is now ugly, tarnished red
As you lay cringing from his touch beneath your bed
You lift your wings to leave
Tonight he set you free-because tonight you broke free... give her some power..
Child close your eyes and you're in my arms again- the child is confusing, say girl...Resting peacefully and safe, it never ends
A pretty bird is what I see!
The Father's set you free
ok. now this has me confused again, I thought it was about a marriage. now who is the father? you? or the Heavenly father and has she died..?
a very nice vocal and melody, you just may want to make the meaning a bit more clear. good luck:) Kim
