The wings are wide, so cover me, come cover me
|
beyond the great divide...
|
Too long I've waited, my colour has now faded
|
I've come to be at your side
|
|
Beyond my brain, so rescue me, please rescue me
|
of flesh and flawed design
|
I want to go, so let me flow, like melting snow
|
My shell it now resigns
|
|
(Hey how ya doing my love
|
finally came up above)
|
Oh I've missed your touch
|
(All of the children have grown,
|
they got kids of their own)
|
Oh you missed so much
|
(Oh but I always stayed true,
|
yes I waited for you)
|
But I've been alone
|
Without you I've no home
|
|
Peace at last
|
Through stormin' seas and broken masts
|
I lay my final anchor
|
Relinquish pain and anger
|
Face to face
|
I long to be in the same place
|
Our love letters I've burned,
|
to you I must return
|
|
(Hey how ya doing my love
|
finally came up above)
|
Oh I've missed your touch
|
(All of the children have grown,
|
they got kids of their own)
|
Oh you missed so much
|
(Oh but I always stayed true,
|
yes I waited for you)
|
But I've been alone
|
Without you I've no home
|
