Wings Of No Restraint Lyrics


Danny Schmidt Wings Of No Restraint

Last time I saw you, both your feet were on the ground
Your mind and body sound
And your thoughts connected dots, at least, if not the most profound

Last time I saw you, you were digging in the dirt
And the stains upon your shirt
Were the sweaty kind a steady mind creates and then deserves

Ooh, ooh, you're floating away
Ooh, ooh, now you're floating

Last time I saw you, you had seeds of every kind
That you'd planted in your mind
And you cried they were the last kind words that your father left behind

Last time I saw you, you had eggs of every size
And so you buried them alive
You swore to me that each good deed would free a bird to rise

Ooh, ooh, you're floating away
Ooh, ooh, now you're floating

Last time I saw you was the break of harvest day
With your bounty on display
But the laughter in your eyes was of the kind that flies away

Last time I saw you, all the birds were in a cage
With their feathers stripped away
Your arms out wide, the glue all dried, like the wings of no restraint

Ooh, ooh, you're floating away
Ooh, ooh, now you're floating

Last time I saw you was the day you learned to fly
When you climbed the mountain high
And you ran until the ground stood still and then you spilled into the sky

Last time I saw you, you were floating away
Carried by the breeze of better days
Hopes and dreams, or a mad man's schemes, off into the sun
Til it all went white, a flash so bright, that I had to look
I had to look away

Ooh, ooh, you're floating away
Ooh, ooh, now you're floating
