Broken Wing

Years of lying to hide your scars
Working night shift through a thousand sunless bars
Another love song, another prayer in vain
Another loved one who flew too near your flame
Nobody could deny you anything but a question must remain
Can you fly with broken wings?

(Mend these broken wings, mend these broken wings)

You knew leaving was the best way in the end
To undeceive me now and steel my heart again
As I still love you and a love like this don't change
And though there's silence now we both still feel the same
Just the questions that remain
Who can fly with broken wings?

Perhaps we never tried, perhaps you thought you let me down
Baby once upon a time...
I'd believe each empty promise and every pretty line
Now how do we begin?
Where do we begin to mend those broken wings?

(Mend these broken wings, mend these broken wings)
(Mend these broken wings, mend these broken wings)

Here's René's painting, streetlamp and stars
Two lovers kissing in the back seat of the car
A midnight moon shining bright, you must remember this
Two tortured lovers seek a one last night of bliss
Back where we started, in the echoes of release
And a gift that only love can bring
To mend these broken wings

(Mend these broken wings)
Broken wings
(Mend these broken wings)
(Mend these)
Broken wings
