Until I Open My Wings Lyrics by Small Wonder

Wendy

2014

[Chorus: Susannah Cutler]
Each day my heart grows fonder
So, one day I'll be your small wonder
Each day my heart grows fonder
So, one day I'll be your small wonder
[Verse 1: Henry Crawford]
I am the moss that grows on stones
And I am the rocks that pave your roads
And when you inhale, I fill your lungs
When you exhale, don't let me out into the world
[Refrain: Henry Crawford, with Susannah Cutler]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: Susannah Cutler]
Each day my heart grows fonder
So, one day I'll be your small wonder
Each day my heart grows fonder
So, one day I'll be your small wonder
[Verse 2: Henry Crawford]
And I saw her mouth protecting her pearl
Putting a scar on the symmetrical world
And I used to dream of such great things
But the moths look like leaves until they open their wings
[Refrain: Henry Crawford, with Susannah Cutler]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: Susannah Cutler]
Each day my heart grows fonder
So, one day I'll be your small wonder
Each day my heart grows fonder
So, one day I'll be your small wonder
[Chorus: Susannah Cutler]
Come on Henry I'm not–
[Refrain: Susannah Cutler]
Come on Henry, I'm not Wendy
I am human only in form, and
I'll tread lightly on your light beams
Hide them inside to keep me warm, and
Come on Henry, I'm not Wendy
I am human only in form, and
I'll tread lightly on your light beams
Hide them inside to keep me warm, and
Come on Henry, I'm not Wendy
[Bridge: Henry Crawford, Susannah Cutler, Both]
I was the worst of us (I am human only in form, and)
My arms let loose the one I loved (I'll tread lightly on your light beams)
And left me standing there (Hide them inside to keep me warm, and)
My knuckles raw, my ankles bare (Come on Henry, I'm not Wendy)
But lady epiphany (I am human only in form, and)
Whispered a sweetness unto me (I'll tread lightly on your light beams)
What I had always known (Hide them inside to keep me warm, and)
"You'll have to do this on your own" (Come on Henry, I'm not Wendy)
I was the worst of us (I am human only in form, and)
My arms let loose the one I loved (I'll tread lightly on your light beams)
And left me standing there (Hide them inside to keep me warm, and)
My knuckles raw, my ankles bare (Come on Henry, I'm not Wendy)
But lady epiphany (I am human only in form, and)
Whispered a sweetness unto me (I'll tread lightly on your light beams)
What I had always known (Hide them inside to keep me warm, and)
"You'll have to do this on your own" (Come on Henry, I'm not Wendy)
I am human only in form, and
"You'll have to do this on your own"
[Outro: Henry Crawford]
Some days my arms can't hold her
But one day she'll be my small wonder
Some days my arms can't hold her
But one day she'll be my small wonder
