Enormous Wings

There once was a very old man

Who had enormous wings

There once was a very old man

Who had enormous wings

They say he saw the world

Through the eyes of a blue dog

(there once was a very old man

who had enormous wings)

There once was a man

Who had enormous wings

It was sad

The rain had knocked him down

People came to see from all around

He was lyin' there

He was lyin' there

His dreams are forever (there once was a very old man)

Entangled in the mud (who had enormous wings)

He's an angel (his dreams were forever)

Tangled in the mud (entangled in the mud)

Every soul you meet (there once was a very old man)

May be a stranger (who had enormous wings)

He's an angel (he's an angel)

He must be coming for the children (He's coming for the children)

It was sad

The rain had knocked him down

People came to see from all around

He was lyin' there

And though he'd like to sleep

The stars fall to the earth in heaps

And he's got tears in his eyes

'Cause the town is filled with so many spies

They all avert their eyes

The rain had knocked him down

People came to see from all around

He was lyin' there

It was sad

The rain had knocked him down

He was lyin' there

They say he saw the world

Through the eyes of a blue dog

(there once was a very old man

who had enormous wings)

He's an angel (he's an angel)

Who had enormous wings

There once was a very old man

Who had enormous wings
