Words and Music by Raccoon
As recorded on White Horse Ranch Sessions
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
Oh,
it’s been a long time since I looked in the eyes of a friend
Oh,
it’s been a long time – I thought my quest would never end
The
only way to bring me down is fill me fulla 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 there that you’ve never seen before
You
never really cared enough to open up your doors
And
oh, it’s been a long time
You
gotta keep on flying high
Oh,
it’s been a long time
You
gotta try till you die
Time’s
like a mountaintop that’s been weather worn to the ground
I’m
not quite so tall anymore but I sure have spread around
Oh,
time, time, time
It
steals your youth – It robs you blind
Oh,
time, time, time
It
heals all wounds – Is it gonna heal mine?
I’ve
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
And
I got time
I
got time
It
won’t be long now before I am dead
Please
take my feathers and stick 'em in some rich lady’s head
But
I got time
I
got time
