Broken Wings lyrics

These broken wings can take me no further

I'm lost, and out at sea

I thought these wings would hold me forever

And on to eternity

And far away, I can hear your voice

I can hear it in the silence of the morning

But these broken wings have let me down

They can't even carry me home

In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping

I remember all the things I said

Well, I've broken all the promises

I said I would be keeping

They're gone, like leaves they fell

For it's so hard when you're far away

All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on

Now these broken dreams have woken me

My love, will you carry me home

Or will you treat me like some traveller

On a dark and lonely road

Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love

Oh, and just when she reaches the part

When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart

She turns away, and sends him travelling on

Oh, when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong

I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story

Take me back, my love, I need you now

Come back and carry me home

Take me back and heal these broken wings

Come back and carry me home
