How 'bout one for the broken hearts?

lyrics

It's raining for first time ever
The sun ain't shining I don't care about the weather
But it's becoming clear
That it ain't gonna pass soon

I can feel it down in my bones
And the cold wind's blowing me and mine back home
But it's becoming clear
That it ain't home no more

She's a cage-bird queen, with cage-bird dreams
And who'da thought a guy like me'd be under her finger tips
But that time is gone and old dogs learn new tricks

Out of my league and out of my kingdom
And I can see my throne leaving through my front door
But don't think twice, old dogs learn new tricks

It's raining for first time ever
The sun ain't shining I don't care about the weather
But it's becoming clear
That it ain't gonna pass soon

I can feel it down in my bones
And the cold wind's blowing me and mine back home
But it's becoming clear
That it ain't home no more

She's a cage-bird queen, with cage-bird dreams
And who'da thought a guy like me'd be under her finger tips (not me)
But don't think twice cuz old dogs learn new tricks
