Lyrics

Heart with Wings

I wake up in the morning when you?re away,
And it feels like my heart?s on a holiday.
I cast no shadow in the broad daylight
hey some body stole the moon out of the night.

I feel a little lighter, and there?s no vital signs?
the emotional cardiograph, it?s reading flat line,
and if I died I wouldn?t change a thing
cos your love gave my heart wings.

I got a heart with wings and it?s flying away,
look out your window because it?s on its way.
It comes with a message from the poetic soul,
I used to have a heart now there's just a hole.
You?re a woman and you can do anything
but you can?t stop my heart with wings.
I got a heart with wings.

I need your navigation and I love a U-turn,
all of me left you but a little returned.
because my heart has a mind of its own
it?s just like a pigeon it knows the way home.

Looking back and being wise
doesn?t give you back the time
but it makes you realise
you?ve gotta, you?ve gotta get it right.

It left me in Melbourne down on Brunswick street,
sitting in that cafe? where we used to eat.
Now it?s in her room, it?s hanging on a string,
take good care of my heart with wings.

Love is a song that I could never sing
but don?t tell that to my heart with wings.

some people think that it?s a grizzly thing
but they have no idea why a heart needs wings.

Heart Rant

I?ve got a heart with wings,
It?s red and blue,
It blows me away by what it can do.
It?s plucky and game,
For something that size,
It hates cholesterol and loves exercise.
I feed it on fish that I caught on a line
Omega 3 and a glass of red wine
It?s pumping your blood
And it?s feeding your brain
Falling in love, it drives me insane
I?ve got a heart with wings
