A Broken Wing
(Recorded by Martina McBride)
She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave him everything she ever
had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up to her
Give a little, then take
it back
She'd tell him about her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved
to make her cry
"You're crazy for believin'
You'll ever leave the ground"
He said,
"Only angels know how to fly"
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps
an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see
her fly
One Sunday morning
She didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't
leave
He went up to the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains
blowin' in the breeze
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought
to see her fly
This song was among the many I learned about at
folksinger Gerri Gribi's Webpage. I
hope you'll take a moment to visit her page and suggest some songs for her exhaustive list!
Thanks Gerri!
