If We Had Wings Lyrics

Janis Ian If We Had Wings

I can't dance forever thinking we're together Waiting for the words that never come I need something more than waltzing 'round the floor when my heart's aching to know you are the one

We better sit the next one out We've got a lot to talk about between the diamonds and the doubt

If we had wings, where would we fly? Would you choose the safety of the ground or touch the sky? if we had wings

There's no use pretending we're a happy ending when we don't know where to begin Will I ever know how far you want to go now? Can you find our song upon the wind?

After all it's only fear ties us down and keeps us here as our tomorrows disappear

If we had wings, where would we fly? Would you choose the safety of the ground or touch the sky?

Seen from the air, our world's too small But I would choose the safety of your arms And have it all If we had wings
