Prisoner

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a valley filled with poppies There's a mountain etched in blue There's a memory that hollers Where it echoes I love you [Verse 2] Does not look like this island That is walled in by the sea With the only sound the warden Who is yelling at me [Bridge] Little bird that I see flying Do you know how far I've flown? Do you know how low the valley? Well, I have sunk below [Verse 3] And the warden takes the prisoners One by one to this room Where their every hope is broken 'Cept that death will claim them soon [Verse 4] And there's no one to ask questions And there's no one to reply To ask why I was taken On the fourth day of July [Bridge] Little bird that I see flying Can you even hear me cry Through the walls of this prison Where I will surely die? [Verse 5] And the crescent moon is shining Marking time as passing by And it's seven years and counting Since I bid you all goodbye [Verse 6] In my dreams I'm dreaming of you In my dreams I can fly And I holler I love you And the valley replies
