Jim White - Borrowed Wings Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • That night we drank wine from the crazy well. Shot a shotgun out the window of our automobile. We was young, we was wild
  • and we sure had our fun. Until the sheriff caught up with us and we tried to run. Now we return to Earth on borrowed wings
  • lifted from the shoulders of sweet dreaming angels. Now the world beyond the world we never will reach, 'cause you can't
  • get to heaven on no... borrowed wings. Now Lucinda here she once ran a fine beauty parlor, 'til her boyfriend got twenty
  • years for robbing them liquor stores. She took some pills in a motel room a mile from his prison cell. Then she sank like
  • a stone to the blue bottom of the swimming pool. Now she returns to Earth on borrowed wings lifted from the shoulders of
  • sweet dreaming angels. Now the world beyond the world she never will reach, 'cause you can't get to heaven on no... borrowed
  • wings. Between a rock called heaven and a hard place called home, we wander the shadows so restless and lonesome. For in
  • the fallow field where what's reaped is what's sewn there lies a road to ruin and it's paved with our tombstones. So if
  • you catch my reflection in a sheet of summer rain, pray tell do remain silent for fear you'll awaken them beautiful owners
  • of the wings that we bear for fear they'll reclaim them and send us back there. For we return to Earth on borrowed wings
  • lifted from the shoulders of sweet dreaming angels. Now the world beyond the world we never will reach, 'cause you can't
  • get to heaven on no... no borrowed wings.
