Broken Wings

Words and Music by Raccoon

as recorded on Rainbow Warrior

 

 

I got two broken wings and I can’t fly

I lost my directions when I fell from the sky

I need a place to stop and mend my broken bones

Before I find my way back to my mountain top home

 

Ooooooh, it’s been a long time since I looked in the eyes of a friend

Ooooooh, it’s been a long time – I thought my quest would never end

 

The only way to bring me down is fill me full of holes

But you can’t stop my soaring soul

Here I go – I’m flyin' to the sun

And I’m not the only one

There’s many people here you’ve never seen before

You never really cared enough to open up your doors

 

Ooooooh, it’s been a long time, time, time, time

You gotta keep on flying high

Ooooooh, it’s been a long time, time, time, time

You gotta try till you die

 

I feel like a mountaintop that’s been weather worn to the ground

I'm not quite so tall anymore but I sure have spread around

Oooooh, time, time, time, time

It makes you old and it makes you blind

Oooooh, time, time, time, time

It heals all wounds – Is it gonna heal mine?

 

I got two broken wings and I can’t fly

I lost my directions when I fell from the sky

I need a place to stop and mend my broken bones

Before I find my way back to my mountain top home

 

I got time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

I got time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

 

It won’t be long now before I am gone

But I raise my head up high – Sing a happy song

Because I got time yeah time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

I got time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

 

Mmmmm time, time

Yea, I got time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time
