Lyrics
One Wing
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.
We belonged to a bird
Who cast his shadow on this world
You were a blessing and I was a curse
I did my best not to make things worse, for you
It isn't true
I always knew this would be our fate
This is what happens when we separate
This is what happens to all dead weight, eventually
We may as well be made of stone
We can't be formed
One Wing will never fly
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye
One wing will never ever fly
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye
One wing will never ever fly dear
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye
