Broken Wings Lyrics - Bryan Ferry

(ferry) 

Through the golden sunset 

Across the borderline 

Stands a cross 

A simple sign 

There the fires of evening 

Reveal so many things 

But who can mend broken wings? 

Southern belles, fancy rings 

Divorced from many things 

As the story goes 

Wish I could fly 

Take the ever winding 

Where the morning rain 

Takes a cloud from the sky 

There I long to love you 

Love is everything 

Who can mend broken wings? 

Through the night, love is blind 

The light of day not kind 

The sense of loss you find 

No sense at all 

And should you gaze and wonder 

Where the eagle flies 

Fallen angels might sing 

Who can mend broken wings?
