Never Turn Rotten

And it's done now Nothing left to do And it's all over Over for you You asked me why So long ago, You asked me why, "Why does the caged bird's beautiful song disgust me so? You asked me why, as you tucked your hair behind your face You asked me why, as you closed your eyes, and saw with your soul Saw with your soul Saw with your soul I think now I have my answer Now I know why But it's just another question "Why does a caged bird make you sigh?" But it's done now Nothing left to do And it's all over Over for you I know I started painting you into a song I know you smiled as I led you along But my little lamb My pure, white, sheep turned black With those soulful eyes My answer is: I love you, so I want you to go and never come back Your song will never be finished Your answer will never be forgotten I will always remember you But please, oh please, never turn rotten
