This Is My Favorite Cage Lyrics - Blood From Stars - Joe Henry

Oh this is my favorite cage 

It grows up around me like silver strands 

Of briar and roses, wisdom and rage 

To cradle my heart like a bird in your hand 

Of briar and roses, wisdom and rage 

This is my favorite cage 

It grows up around me like silver strands 

And cradles my heart like a bird in your hand 

This is a beautiful war to be sure 

A surrendering hero's name will be sung 

Or scratched in the sand like some secret cure 

When all else has failed and the battle feared won 

Scratched in the sand like some secret cure 

This is a beautiful war to be sure 

A surrendering hero's name will be sung 

When all else has failed and the battle feared won 

This is a star more perfect than peace 

A flash in the dark setting fire to trees 

Wresting my faith down out of the eaves 

Bending my will back up on its knees
