Two Caged Birds Fly
Written by Lawrence Gowan
Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan

It's hard for me
To hold a light
On what was once the light
That filled my heart

For now today
I'm a man of tears
Locked inside a world
That's torn apart

For all it takes
To prove the doubt
That's driven
To the point of no delay

We've shown our best
To another success
There's more to cover
In our separate ways

It's over now
You won't be back
You've heard my song
Oh you've caught my act
And all I want is my reward
For time that's too demanding
For you there's no pain not worth standing
Tonight two caged birds fly

It's great to know
By the end of the show
To find I lost myself I'm gonna win back
It's hard for me
To hold a light
To what was lost
That cold night on the tracks

It's over now
You won't be back
You've heard my song
And you've caught my act
And all I want is my reward
For time that's too demanding
So that there's no misunderstanding
Tonight two caged birds fly

It's over now
You won't be back
You've heard my song
And you've caught my act
Now I guess I'll have to face
My final lonely landing
For you there's no pain not worth standing
Tonight two caged birds fly
And oh.... they fly
