Only time will tell
This one will be your albatross
The crown of thorns upon your cross
The sedan chair upon on your back
The goal-keeper, the wing attack
The sentry at the castle gate
The watch that is an hour late
The falconer with hood in hand
Who makes you circle round and land
Already well-trained to ignore
Love doesn't close the birdcage door
