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 on her.
Give a little, then take it back.
She'd tell him 'bout 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."
CHORUS:
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 mornin' 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.
CHORUS:
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.
With a broken wing, she carries her dreams.
Man, you ought to see her fly.
