《She’s Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage》歌词

[00:00:00] She's Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage - John D. Foster/Avon Cities Skiffle Group/Fannie Davis/Louis Metcalf

[00:00:17] The ballroom was filled with fashion's throng

[00:00:21] It lean with a thousand lights

[00:00:25] And there was a woman who passed along

[00:00:28] The fairest of all the sights

[00:00:32] A girl to her lover then softly sighed

[00:00:36] There's riches at her command

[00:00:39] But she married for wealth not for love he cried

[00:00:43] Though she lives in a mansion grand

[00:00:47] She's only a bird in a gilded cage

[00:00:51] A beautiful sight to see

[00:00:55] You may think she's happy and free from care

[00:00:58] She's not what she seems to be

[00:01:02] It is sad when you think of wasted life

[00:01:06] For youth cannot mate with age

[00:01:10] Her beauty was sold for an old man's gold

[00:01:13] She's a bird in a gilded cage

[00:01:33] I stood in a churchyard just at eve

[00:01:36] When sunset adorned the west

[00:01:40] And saw the people who'd come to grieve

[00:01:43] For loved ones who laid at rcst

[00:01:47] A tall marble monument marked the grave

[00:01:51] For one who'd been fashion's queen

[00:01:54] And I thought She was better than lying at rest

[00:01:58] Than to have people say when seen

[00:02:01] She's only a bird in a gilded cage

[00:02:05] A beautiful sight to see

[00:02:09] You may think she's happy and free from care

[00:02:12] She's not what she seems to be

[00:02:16] It is sad when you think of wasted life

[00:02:20] For youth cannot mate with age

[00:02:24] Her beauty was sold for an old man's gold

[00:02:27] She's a bird in a gilded cage
