Three Miles Out - If I Could Fly Lyrics

I WENT WALKING DOWN A RAINY STREET

I FEEL THE RAIN SPLASHING ABOUT MY COLD FEET

AND THROUGH THE WINDOW THERE'S A SIGN, COME ON IN

HAVE A CUP OF JOE ON ME AND SIT AND TALK AMONGST OLD FRIENDS



THROUGH THE BLINDS I SEE THEM, LAUGHING AND TALKING

I SWEAR GOD CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN



IF ONLY I HAD WINDS, I COULD FLY LIKE A BIRD

LOOKING DOWN ON YOU AND ME

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS, IF ONLY I COULD FLY



MY EYES ARE WET AND BURNING THROUGH THE WINDOW

THERE'S A GLARE OF SOMETHING THERE/ SOMETHING BURNING INSIDE

THE SMELL OF COFFEE, EGGS, AND BURNING BLACK TOAST

I GET MY CROSS OUT AND CARVE MY NAME IN THE WALL



THROUGH THE WINDOW, I'M EXPERIENCING THE RAIN

I SWEAR I CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN



IF ONLY I HAD WINGS I WOULD FLY LIKE A BIRD LOOKING DOWN ON YOU AND ME

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS I WOULD FLY SO HIGH I'D BE LOOKING DOWN LOOKING DOWN YA

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS IF ONLY I COULD FLY



SHADES OF DISCONTENT HAVE TORN ME FROM MY HOUSE

AND AS I TRY TO SLEEP MY MIND FADES IN AND OUT

SECOND GLANCES, NO ROMANCES, I HAVE TAKEN MY CHANCES

WHEN I FLY TOO… HIGH



IF ONLY I HAD WINGS

I WOULD FLY LIKE A BIRD LOOKING DOWN ON YOU AND ME



IF ONLY I HAD WINGS I WOULD'D FLY SO HIGH

I'D BE LOOKING DOWN , LOOKING DOWN



IF ONLY I COULD FLY IF ONLY I HAD WINGS

I'D BE LOOKING DOWN ON YOU AND ME



IF ONLY I HAD WINGS IF ONLY I COULD FLY
