LyricMeaning

Wings Are Wide
John Butler Trio

The wings are wide, so cover me

Come cover me beyond the great divide

Too long I've waited, my color 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've got kids of their own

Oh you've 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


Days at last, the storm and seas at broken mast

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


Hey, how ya doing my love? Finally came up above

Oh, I've missed your touch

All of the children have grown, they've got kids of their own

Oh you've missed so much

Oh but I always stayed true, yes, I waited for you

But I lived alone, without you I've no home


Hey, how ya doing my love? Finally came up above

Oh, I've missed your touch

All of the children have grown, they've got kids of their own

Oh you've missed so much

Oh but I always stayed true, yes, I waited for you

But I've been alone, now I'm coming home
