She loved him like he was the last man on earth
Gave him everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down, then come lovin' up on her

Give a little, then take it back

She'd tell him about her dreams, he'd just shoot 'em down

Lord he loved to make her cry
You're crazy for believin', you'll never leave the ground
He said only angels know how to fly


And with a broken wing she still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky

With a broken wing she carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly


One Sunday morning she didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the bedroom, found a note by the window

With the curtains blowin' in the breeze

And with a broken wing she still sings

She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing she carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly


With a broken wing she carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
