Canary Lyrics
(Act 2, The Past)
(Jack sings)
We were so young, lost in thought
Yellow iris, and olive heart
Clean white sheeting, a nest is made
Expectations, company paid
She watched the window
And latch the cage
Always waiting, so disengaged
Day in, day out, our hope subsides
Locked away where we reside
She wakes every night
Falling from flight
Sing canary sing
The flock is flying
Through this little town
She keeps on trying
Though she comes back down
Hold your breath dear
The air grows thin
Fill up deep with it
They’ll return again
She wakes every night
Falling from flight
Sing canary sing
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh Clementine my love
What do the bones say?
Don’t let your youth die young
Yellow iris, and olive heart
Clean white sheeting, a nest is made
Expectations, company paid
She watched the window
And latch the cage
Always waiting, so disengaged
Day in, day out, our hope subsides
Locked away where we reside
Falling from flight
Sing canary sing
Through this little town
She keeps on trying
Though she comes back down
Hold your breath dear
The air grows thin
Fill up deep with it
They’ll return again
Falling from flight
Sing canary sing
Oh Clementine my love
What do the bones say?
Don’t let your youth die young
