Lyrics Dougie MacLean

Dougie MacLean

Broken Wings

A tall tree

Turn and face the west

O we're running with the wind

A high clifftop

We're waiting with the rest

For this journey to begin

Chorus:

But these broken wings won't fly

These broken wings won't fly at all

And O how we laugh

But maybe we should crawl

And ask to be excused

We shout loudly

Have answers to it all

O but we have been refused

Chorus

Girl child

You're dancing with the stream

Growing with the silver trees

Your young questions

You ask me what it means

O but I am not at ease

Chorus
