SINGER: Simple Minds

SONG:If I Had Wings

Open inside something about this pain
there's something about this sweet refrain
reminds me that you're not there
and if i could care there's something about this curse
like a needle inside a silken purse
reminds me of all that you'd bring
if i had wings
i'm still standing
Blue mountain high
only the fables get to fly
without these words there's no reason why
it reminds me of all that you bring
If i had wings
would like to teach myself
if i had wings
would learn to stir myself
if i had wings
strapped inside won't be denied
Nightmare brings
all that you said
and if i could fly
long time saviour
that's the sinner's crime
well without such trust
i know that i can never find
never find - never find - never find
If i had wings
if i had wings
I'm still standing
Never find - never find - never find
Open inside something about this pain
there's something about this sweet refrain
reminds me that you're not there
and if i could care there's something about this curse
like a needle inside a silken purse
reminds me of all that you'd bring
if i had wings
if i had wings
if i had wings
if i had wings
