Pacing The Cage

Judy Collins - Pacing The Cage CAPO: 4th Fret [Intro]               [Verse 1] Sunset is an angel weeping   Holding out a bloody sword      No matter how I squint I cannot   Make out what it’s pointing toward Sometimes you feel like you lived too long    Days drip slowly on the page       You catch yourself pacing the cage           [Verse 2] I’ve proven who I am so many times   The magnetic strip’s worn thin      And each time I was someone else   And everyone was taken in Powers chatter in high places    Stir up eddies in the dust of rage    Set me to pacing the cage           [Verse 3] I never knew what you all wanted   So I gave you everything      All that I could pillage   All the spells that I could sing It’s as if the thing were written    In the constitution of the age    Sooner or later you’ll wind up pacing the cage       [Instrumental]                          [Verse 4] Sometimes the best map will not guide you   You can’t see what’s round the bend      Sometimes the road leads through dark places      Sometimes the darkness is your friend Today these eyes scan bleached out land   For the coming of the outbound stage       Pacing the cage             Pacing the cage
