Wings Lyrics

Pretty wings get nervous when the shadows grow long

On the banks of this lake, the storm will come

When that wind shuffles in, one more time then she's gone

This was already spelled in the stars

She'd turn a cheek like Jesus

Forgive him just like on St Paul

She needs a city of angels

To fly away from it all

Early on she knew it, knew it, something ya was clearly amiss

He did his talking with an elevated volume ya and sometimes a fist

With a fire in his eyes, he couldn't resist

And this was already spelled in the scars

She'd turn a cheek like Jesus

Forgive him just like St Paul

She needs a city of angels

To fly away from it all

He was always swinging it side to side

Hope on a string just caught her eye

She didn't know she was hypnotized

He'd always cut and then cauterize

He caught her eyes

And warning bells called out and cut a crack through the air

It echoed like the bells neath the steeples of the churches ya but she couldn't hear

She'd turn a cheek like Jesus

Forgive him just like St Paul

She needs a city of angels

To fly away from it all

He thinks he's just like Jesus

A prophet in his own town

But he'll take the silver, twist the nail

Kick the dog and cheat and steal

Broken honor up for sale

King of this town

Ya, he ain't wearing no crown

Ya, he ain't wearing no crown

He'd always say vile things

Wouldn't let her have nice things

He thought he had clipped her wings

Now she cut that string

She's a bird set free

She's a bird set free

On a prayer and a wing

It's time to sing

She'd turn a cheek like Jesus

Forgive him just like St Paul

She found a city of angels

And got away from it all
