Hero With A Wing
Lyricist:Robert Newton Calvert
I see myself a hero while one wing falls away And the dial approaches zero in a spiraling display My past life flashes feverishly and lives I did not lead Like the time I was a hero of a weird, outlandish breed
One arm of flesh and muscle and one of feathered scale I was a hero with a wing that was of no avail I could only fly in circles like a corkscrew in the sky My one wing flapping frantically while birds just glided by
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I launched myself from mountains and from the highest trees Although I could get nowhere and just landed on my knees But still I was a hero with one wing more than most Almost half an angel, a whirling holy ghost
My father was an eagle with two wings wide as sails My mother was the west wind witch with grasping finger nails She lured him from his aerie with her twittering device She kept him in a golden cage and fed him field mice
