wings are wide

John Butler Trio

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
