broken wings Lyrics

Through the quiet months of autumn

Through the wintertime when all the trees were bare

A royal crown or a wreath of gold

Wouldn't have beat the way she ran her fingers through my hair

Her plight was not a pleasant one

Left scars and wounds which covered her whole heart

Her love was not an easy one

A constant search for salvation tore us apart

But if i wouldn't have known to look at you

I wouldn't have known the holy tender reach

Now a pain i'll carry 'til i die

Is a burden indescribable by speech

Now i'm holed up in a smokey room

There's a woman on my lap

And she's drinking champagne

My mind stuck in better time

Before i'd faced the winds of certain change

I close my eyes and still can see you

Dancing in the mirror putting on all your chains

I can hear you whisper in my ear

What's lost is gone please let yourself remain

But if i wouldn't have known to look at you

I wouldn't have known your holy tender reach

I've gone as far as i can see

Balanced on the edge of eternity

A stale wind rips apart my skin

And bitter thoughts are tearing me to shreds

I haven't known of peace or quiet

Since the last time i was sleeping in your bed

Every time i pass your door

I'm wishing i was someone else instead

And the changing stars and summer breeze

Close the doors separating me from you

It's a long time on the borderline

But you're the dream that helps me see it through
