Lady in White - The Feather Bed Lyrics

He leaves, she grieves
He is 'The One' but he doesn't care
She clings to her broken wings
And whispers, Love, don't leave me here

But he's gone and it's too late
To make him a man of his word
He's cruel; it's just his way
Of clipping her wings into feathers

They glide through the air and form a feather bed
They glisten with her tears where she lays her head

And that is where she lays praying he will return
And that is what he does because she will never learn

When her wings do heal, he won't be able to resist
He will need to feel the kind of love she gives
The kind of love that blinds her as all her feathers fly
The kind of love she'll die for every time

She deserves better than this
Why does she waste her kisses for his touch
Why doesn't she resist

After all her feathers fall
And his energy is spent
He will leave her to her dreams
And vow to never come again

And that is where she lays praying he will return
And that is what he does because she will never learn
