Wings Are Wide Lyrics - Flesh & Blood - 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
