MDH - Wingless Angel Lyrics

Of all the things that Tommy said, the things I knew were true
Were the things he had to say about you
He had so many diamonds, goldmines dug in his backyard
But still he always tried too hard

You wore yours lightly
Their mirrors held you up, his dragged him down
Now you donate them, we won't see you much around

When angels shed their wings
So they shed tired talk of earthy things
Tommy's flappin' in the street, preachin' to everyone he meets
While you resolve to fly, to navigate the night
Unlike Tommy and me, still tryin' to teach our feet

You didn't even need wings to fill the sky

Presidents and holy men can talk a jumper down
They like the people's feet kept safely on the ground
You didn't shout and jump about, you didn't talk real loud
That's how we can still hear you now

You spoke for Tommy
He read your words to us, he wanted wings like you
You sent the message, but he never understood

When angels shed their wings
So they shed tired talk of earthy things
Tommy's flappin' in the street, but still scuffin' his feet
While you resolve to fly, to navigate the night
Unlike Tommy and me, still tryin' to teach our feet

You didn't even need wings
You didn't even need wings to fly, to fill the sky
