One Wing Lyrics by Wilco

Wilco (The Album)

2009

[Verse 1]
We once belonged to a bird
Who cast his shadow on this world
You were a blessing and I was a curse
I did my best not to make things worse for you

[Verse 2]
That isn't true
I always knew this would be our fate
This is what happens when wings separate
This happens, all dead weight, eventually

[Verse 3]
We may as well be made of stone
We can't be flown

[Chorus]
One wing will never fly
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye

[Chorus]
One wing will never ever fly
Neither yours nor mine
One wing will never ever fly, dear
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye

[Chorus]
One wing will never ever fly, dear
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye
