Lyrics
You were only talking, it's just a story that you tell
But I believed in heaven then and I believed in hell
I thought you were an angel whose wings were melted in the sun
Feathers falling all around but you were still the one
And in the street we danced to a distant song
I wanted you to lift me up and carry me along
I thought you were an angel whose wings were hidden by a spell
Come for love to walk with me and hold me when I fell
And in the forest - drunken by the brook
I waited for your blessing like a lamb upon a rock
I thought that if I prayed that you would hear me call
Above all the other voices that had brought you to your fall
And in the Wellesley Hospital in the smell of medicine and death
I wanted you to lie beside me so I could breathe a holy breath
I thought your wings were hidden, that they would suddenly appear
And we would open up the window and fly away from here
