Over The Rhine

Broken Angels
I want to take a break from heartache Drive away from all the tears I’ve cried I’m a wasteland down inside In the crawlspace under heaven In the landscape of a wounded heart I don’t know where to start But the wild geese of Mary Pierce the darkness with a song And a light I’ve been running from Rnd running for so long As their feathers spin their stories I can still cling to my fears Or I can run but they come along And we both disappear just like all… All these broken angels All these tattered wings All these things come alive in me An empty frame against the madness Like the fence line holds the fog at bay It’s gonna roll in anyway SongtexteDraw the curtain across heaven Cut the sky, a cold coyote moon Kills the season off too soon Are they sparks or are they embers Fireflies or falling stars? Are they fireworks that backfired? Will they leave a scar? Are they evening murmurations That make me wish that I could fly Or are they just trespassing satellites Intersecting my night sky just like all… All these broken angels All these tattered wings All these things come alive in me All these broken… All these broken angels All these scary things All these dreams are alive in me Are they sparks or are they embers Fireflies or falling stars? Are they fireworks that backfired? Will they leave a scar? Are they evening murmurations That make me wish that I could fly Or are they just trespassing satellites Intersecting my night sky just like all… All these broken angels All these tattered wings All these things come alive in me All these broken… All these broken angels All these scary things All these dreams are alive in me All these broken All these broken angels Aus Songtexte Mania
