Wounded Wing from Donlands by JERRY LEGER

WOUNDED WING

If it's left up to chance
In the marigold sun
I hide in the promise of protection
The whistle blows
But the work ain't done
Looking down to see
Another town crumbling

Wounded Wing
See how she flies
Way up in that undying sky
The restless wind don't care why
But she won't take the fall

The temperature drops
And they bustle no more
She waits for the siren
That waits for the door
In walks the killer
And in comes the hound
One waits for the hammer
And waits for the ground

Wounded Wing
See how she flies
Way up in that undying sky
The restless wind don't care why
But she won't take the fall

In the worst of years
Said it was best to leave me be
Where she had to go
I couldn't be following
So, goodbye to what we knew
And hello to what we need
She let go of my hand
But couldn't let go of me

Wounded Wing
See how she flies
Way up in that undying sky
The restless wind don't care why
But she won't take the fall
