THANKS FOR THE WINGS


1. Thanks for the wings but I’ll take them back to the shop in the clouds.

Thanks for the wings but the angels can put them back on the shelf.



CH: I don’t need your love to guide me anymore.

I don’t need your love to hold me anymore.



2. I’m back in the mud but it’s squelching so softly around as I dance.

I’ve lost both my shoes, but it’s soft and it’s warm and I can feel the ground.



CH: I don’t need your love to guide me anymore

I don’t need your love to hold me anymore.



I found a ribbon by my bed that used to tie your hair.

I wonder how you wear it now and I know I shouldn’t care.



3. The walls that keep rising before me have lots of beautiful cracks.

Now that I cannot fly over I’m learning to climb and you see:



CH: I don’t need your love to guide me anymore

I don’t need your love to hold me anymore.



4. I feel the storm coming and I’m scared of the wind that’s bending the trees.

But I keep walking and the cornet is playing a recurrent thought:



CH: I don’t need your love to guide me anymore

I don’t need your love to hold me anymore.



I wish we’d been living in a place where everything would just stay.

The rain is laughing in my face – we can’t stop – panta rei



5. The dreams in my street have secretly opened their windows and doors.

And somewhere there on the old wall there is a bronze plaque that reads:

CH: : I don’t need your love to guide me anymore

I don’t need your love to hold me anymore. 2x

Thanks for the wings….
