Wings
Four walls built on shaky dirt
in earthquake country
The earth moves - it all comes crashing down
When what was yesterday
doesn’t make sense for tomorrow
Everything happens for a reason,
isn’t enough to stop the shake
That breaks the ground
When the chasm keeps growing wider
And I’m standing on the edge,
standing on the edge
standing on the edge
Ready to jump into the rubble
So I can finally get some rest.
You reach out and grab me
Strong arms when my own are weak
You pull me in and
You pull me in and
You pull me in
You anchor me down and take me home
When the winds blow like a hurricane
And the storm clouds
leave no sunshine in the rain
When trees fall around me, block my path
And the river flows
Until it’s waters leave the bank
Rising current, raging from the deep
When I lay down on a rock beside her
and I pray she will take me out to sea
Take me out to sea
Take me out to sea-
So I can finally find some peace.
You reach out and grab me
Strong arms when my own are weak
You pull me in and
You pull me in and
You pull me in
You anchor me down and take me home
When I hear that train to nowhere
Screaming in the midnight
darkness of my mind
And that lonely banshee whistle wails
The promise of a one way ticket
Southbound under someone else’s name
Memories full of stories
Hints of what might have been
In a suitcase shoved beneath the seat
Coursing down old and brittle tracks
And I’m riding in the night
Riding in the night
Riding in the night
You reach out and grab me
Strong arms when my own are weak
you pull me in and
you pull me in and
you pull me in and
You wrap your wings around me
You anchor me down and you walk me home
