She loved him like he was
The last man on earth
Gave him everything she ever had

And he'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up on her
Give a little, then take it back


She'd tell him 'bout 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"

[chorus]

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 oughta see her fly


One sunday mornin'
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

[chorus]

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 oughta see her fly


With a broken wing
She carries her dreams

Man you oughta see her fly
