Call of the Wild

I saw you in a cage, you sat all alone.
You saw that I’d built a cage of my own
We set out with hope but no plan
You were Robin, to my fragile Batman

We took no prisoners,
Outward or homeward bound
Was it me who rescued you,
Or was it the other way around

I remember the nights when we sat in my room
I’d light up a jay while you howled at the moon
Watchin’ a comet movin’ close to the sun
whispering, you’ll never have to run

We took no prisoners,
Outward or homeward bound
Was it me who rescued you,
Or was it the other way around

When the night came, we walked in the park
A street light exploded, you were scared by the spark
You flashed across that field in your highest gear
Over the ridge I watched you disappear

Song Lyrics

Working Man’s Daughter

Oooh, Oooh . . . Oooh, Oooh . . . Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

I called your name, oh why did you break free
Could it be that easy to forget about me?
Was it really just fear that made you run
Or was it the call of the wild, saying come on, come on”
