Lyrics
Silver Wings
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.
From tender years you took me for granted
But still I deign to wander through your lungs
While you were sleeping soundly in your bed
(Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters flung)
I drew the poison from the summer's sting
And eased the fire out of your fevered skin
I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing
And if you'd let me I would move again
I've danced 'tween sunlit strands of lover's hair
Helped form the final words before your death
I've pitied you and plied your sails with air
Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath
And after all of this I am amazed
That I am cursed far more than I am praised
