Lyrics

Dowager

Magpie stealing the lashes you no longer need
Away, away
Goodbye, goodbye
Raven fleeing the tower that will never fall
Away, away
So far to fly
Eagle watching them scurry from a mile afar
Away, away
Goodbye, goodbye
Robin blushing inspite of all the modesty
We cannot find away to fly

So the Dowager plays by herself
So the Dowager plans her escape
So the Dowager takes to the sky
So the Dowager plays by herself
So the Dowager plans her escape
So the Dowager takes to the sky
So the Dowager

Magpie stealing the lashes you no longer need
Away, away
Goodbye, goodbye
Raven fleeing the tower that will never fall
Away, away
So far to fly
Eagle watching them scurry from a mile high
Away, away
Goodbye, goodbye
Robin blushing inspite of all the modesty
We cannot find away to fly

So the Dowager plays by herself
So the Dowager plans her escape
So the Dowager takes to the sky
So the Dowager plays by herself
So the Dowager plans her escape
So the Dowager takes to the sky

Away, away, too far
