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, 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 theses broken wings,
|
Come back and carry me home.
