Wings Lyrics - Th Complete Epic Recordings (2 Cd) - Rick Nelson

Seen it written and I've heard it told 

That a man does things for gold 

Drives him crazy and it makes him old 

Before his time 

Sittin' 'round waitin' for the rainbow's end 

Wastin' time and loosin' friends 

Never knowin' that it ends before his eyes 

But those of us who seek the truth 

Will be there when she rides 

Talkin' 'bout wings 

To carry us over the water 

Talkin' 'bout wings 

Pickin' us up by the waves 

Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin' 

We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings 

Once met a man and his words were wise 

And he looked me in the eyes 

he said brother don't you compromise 

What you feel 

All things figure in a bigger plan 

And it's up to veryman 

Just to do the best to reach his own ideals 

And build a world around himself 

And live it like he feels 

Talkin' 'bout wings 

To carry us over the water 

Talkin' 'bout wings 

Pickin' us up by the waves 

Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin' 

We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings 

Talkin' 'bout wings 

To carry us over the water 

Talkin' 'bout wings 

Pickin' us up by the waves 

Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin' 

We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings 

Talkin' 'bout wings 

To carry us over the water 

Talkin' 'bout wings 

Pickin' us up by the waves 

Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin' 

We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings
