The Wretches Gone Awry Lyrics

Happy Rhodes The Wretches Gone Awry

Mine are like the wings of a butterfly
    A dusty pair so,
   Don't you touch them or I'll never fly anywhere
       And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
   Ever see the wings of a dragonfly?
    Paper-thin and cellophane
   And quickly broken like the will to live for a mind in pain
       And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
                  I cannot change what is and
                 I cannot make it die
                  But I can love with all my heart
                 The wretches gone awry
       And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

   You know I can be rid of my time and the moon will always shine
   'Cause he knows I need him to walk this vile and crooked line
       And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

   And you can own all the light in the world and still be blind
    And lie and hide away from the people in the world and still be kind
       And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
                  I cannot change what is and
                 I cannot make it die
                  But I can love with all my heart
                 The wretches gone awry
       And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
   All I ask is you let me be to live like I do
    I'll never be part but someday I will pass on through
       And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
   You can pull the wings from a dragonfly
    And you can kill the flight of a butterfly
   But you can't harm me for I live with the freedom to decide
       And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
                  You cannot change what is and
                 You cannot make it die
                  But you can love with all your heart
                 The wretches gone awry
           Say
                  You cannot change what is and
                 You cannot make it die
                  But you can love with all your heart
                 The wretches gone awry
       Yes the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
