Elton John With Ray Cooper : Rainbow Theatre 05/07/77


AND YOU CAN

CAGE THE SONGBIRD

 BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE HER SING

AND YOU CAN TRAP THE FREE BIRD

BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO CLIP HER WINGS

'CAUSE SHE'LL SOAR LIKE A HAWK

WHEN SHE FLIES

BUT SHE'LL DIVE LIKE A EAGLE

WHEN SHE DIES


HERE IS A NICE SOUNDING 

RARE ELTON...
