Wings Are Wide
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
