I'll be flying home
To you blue eyes
And they won't clip your wings
In cages, cage
And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before
And they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean
Don't forget my song
Sing it louder, my love
Heard you land so strong
In arms
In arms
And I watched you grow
Collected your first feathers
And I made you a home
And I let you go
And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before and they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean
And I raised you well
My first son
And they can set you free
Freer than here
And remember me
Only when you sleep
I'll be back for you
In cages
To you blue eyes
And they won't clip your wings
In cages, cage
And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before
And they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean
Don't forget my song
Sing it louder, my love
Heard you land so strong
In arms
In arms
And I watched you grow
Collected your first feathers
And I made you a home
And I let you go
And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before and they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean
And I raised you well
My first son
And they can set you free
Freer than here
And remember me
Only when you sleep
I'll be back for you
In cages

Beautiful song, I think it's about a woman saying goodbye to her son, who is leaving home ('flying the coop/nest', hence all the bird imagery). Simply gorgeous. Very emotional too.
