lyrics

Wings

she don’t cook dinner on Sunday
She don’t quote magic on high
But a piece of the sky she’ll give me tonight
In a glimmering moment
Of her love and his light
We don’t talk near enough Even often
When this life leaves our hearts in a daze
But its freedom that ring us past all of these things
and rolls us on out where the sky cuts the haze

she don’t give me comfort grief or regret
she hoist me a sail with her heartstrings
and gives me wings
of asphalt and gravel
wings
without the sound of a gavel
wings
she knows a heart that unravels will
weave its way back on home

the skeleton boys in my closet
they rattle my bones by the day
till the wicked red road
loosens that load
and rolls me on out
like the washing of a rain

she don’t pound a hammer with a broken duet
she hoists me a sail with her heartstrings
