1
Sober in the morning light
2
Things look so much different
3
To how they looked last night
4
A pale face pressed to an unmade bed
5
Like flags of many nations flying high above her head
6
The cellophane still on the flowers
7
The telegram still in her hand
8
As whispers circulate all day
9
Their back-stage baby princess passed away
10
And you can cage the songbird
11
But you can't make her sing
12
And you can trap the free bird
13
But you'll have to clip her wings
14
'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies
15
But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
16
Promises of no more lies
17
Fell flat upon an empty stage
18
Before the audience arrived
19
A return in time to the cheaper seats
20
She never knew what lay beneath
21
Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets
22
Let down before the final curtain
23
A shallow heart that left her cold
24
She left in rouge upon the mirror
25
A circled kiss to the faithful who'd miss her
