Broken Wings Lyrics by The Backsliders

0

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

The 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 sing
Blind with an angel with broken wings

Well every time I think of all the places
Where trouble seemed to find me and knock me to the ground
Darkness fell and covered all around me
Giving life to the shadow that I'm bound

The 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 sing
Blind with an angel with 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...

The 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 sing
Blind with an angel with broken wings
