lyrics

Broken Wing - Gwade
==================
I could make a career
Out of singin' your blues
If I wanted to crash that hard,
I could watch the Evening News

Don't be upset
I'm not out the door quite yet
But just remember this
Any time you feel regret


Behind every broken wing
(is) Something that shattered the bones within
So don't let me hear you scream
About ruffled feathers

I could spend my whole life
Just payin' your dues
I'm the one that has to keep shelling out
Because you have too much to lose

Don't be afraid
It's just a story that I made up
So just remember this
When you tell me you're all paid up

Behind every broken wing
(is) Something that shattered the bones within
So don't let me hear you complain
Because you missed that plane

With a little time
You can fly again
All it takes is time
You can fly again
If you will....

In a little bit
When everyone else tires of your shhhhh, baby
Don't quit
n' Dont throw a fit
Because here I still sit
(And I'll be here) by your side forever more...

I could carve out a canyon
With a river of your tears
Watch it flow through the desert,
The grass would grow green for years

Don't take offense
I'm just trying to make some sense
Cause things between us
They're getting too intense

Behind every broken wing
(is) Something that shattered the bones within
So don't let me hear you cry
Because you're high and dry....

With a little time
You can fly again
All it takes is time
You can fly again
If you will....
