Broken Wings Songtext
von The Backsliders

Every night I see the smiling faces
Through the bottom of a beer glass
From a table near the bar
As my memory carefully retraces
Every footstep that′s brought me down this far

Distance from the bottle to the floor
Gets closer every time I drink one more
Tonight I'll get so blind that I can′t see
Blind with an angel's broken wings


Every time I think of all the places
Where trouble seems to find me
And knock me to the ground
Darkness fell to cover all around me
Giving life to the shadows that I'm bound

Distance from the bottle to the floor
Gets closer every time I drink one more
Tonight I′ll get so blind that I can′t see
Blind with an angel's broken wings

Every night I see the smiling faces
But the loneliness reminds me
Of who I am come closing time
So as the neon lights and laughter fades behind me
To the strains of a satisfied mind

Distance from the bottle to the floor
Gets closer every time I drink one more
Tonight I′ll get so blind that I can't see
Blind with an angel′s broken wings


Blind with an angel's broken wings
