Wings Are Wide
JOHN BUTLER TRIO · Flesh & Blood 2014 · Track 09 of 11
Written by John Butler
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
