Lyrics

DADDY DIDN’T LIKE THE COUNTRY, MOMMA' DIDN'T LIKE THE SEA.
KID DIDN’T LIKE THE FRUIT THAT FELL FROM THE NEIGHBOUR'S BLOOD PLUM TREE.
SO I’D SIT DOWN ON MY TIN ROOF WHERE I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FLY. WAVED MY ARMS ABOVE MY HEAD AND I TOOK TO THE SKY.

WITH TWO FEATHERS IN MY FINGERS,
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FLY.

AND I’D WATCH THE SPARROWS FLYING, BEYOND THE PALING FENCE.
I WISHED THAT I COULD JOIN THEM SO I’D STAND UP AND PRETEND.
IS IT MY IMAGINATION? CAN I REALLY SEE THE CLOUDS, WHEN I SIT DOWN ON MY TIN ROOF IN MY ROYAL PAPER GOWN?

WITH TWO FEATHERS IN MY FINGERS,
I WILL NEVER DROWN.

NOW THE DOG RAN FROM THE BACK DOOR, HEARD A MIGHTY SCREAM.
WHO SPILT THAT MILK UPON THE GRASS, WHO TURNED THAT WOMAN GREEN?
NOW I SIT DOWN ON MY TIN ROOF, WHERE I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FLY. WAVED MY ARMS ABOVE MY HEAD AND I TOOK TO THE SKY.

WITH TWO FEATHERS IN MY FINGERS, I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FLY.

AND I’D WATCH THE WORLD AROUND ME FROM MY CASTLE IN THE SKY. WATCH THE CARS AND THE DISTANT KIDS FROM THE CORNERS OF MY EYES.
NOW I SIT DOWN ON MY TIN ROOF, WHERE I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FLY. WAVED MY ARMS ABOVE MY HEAD AND I TOOK TO THE SKY.

WITH TWO FEATHERS IN MY FINGERS,
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FLY.
WITH TWO FEATHERS IN MY FINGERS,
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD FLY.
