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