Wings Are Wide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
