Letra de 'Ladybird' de Natalie Merchant

Hey, Ladybird, ain't it just the way
The way that love grows cold and then fades away?
Now when he touches you, make no mistake
The fire's long gone out and the ash has blown away
You don't know how to leave and you don't know where to fly

You don't know what you feel
But you know it's not satisfied today
So many little ones, so many mouths
You've got a lot to feed and you know you don't know how

Making the best of it, somehow you're making do
Making the best of the days that you stay
And you wait in this cage they made for you
You don't know how to leave
And you don't know where to fly

You've got a lot of things to lose
So you've got a lot of things to hide

You know you don't believe
But you know you've got to try today
You know the sweetest wine, it's a witches' brew
Pours like honey down and then burns a hole in you

Yeah, you may think you're done but you're never through
Spitting out
The bitterness to get the little sweetness you do
You don't know how to leave
And you don't know where to fly

You've got a lot of things to lose
So you've got a lot of things to hide

You don't know what you feel
But you know it's not satisfied

You know you don't believe
But you know you've got to try today
Feel the winter bitterness
It's heavy on the wind
Coming back again

Maybe it's time to fly, time to fly away!
When you gonna spread your wings and fly?
When you gonna fly away?
When you gonna fly away?
