These broken wings can take me no further
   I'm lost, and out at sea
   I thought these wings would hold me forever
   And on to eternity
   And far away I can hear your voice
   I can hear it in the silence of the morning
   But these broken wings have let me down
   They can't even carry me home
  
   In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping
   I remember all the things I said
   Well I've broken all the promises
   I said I would be keeping
   They've gone, like leaves they fell
   For it's so hard when you're far away
   All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on
   Now these broken dreams have woken me
   My love, will you carry me home
  
   Or will you treat me like some traveller
   On a dark and lonely road
   Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love
   Oh and just when she reaches the part
   When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart
   She turns away, and sends him travelling on, on
  
   Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong
   I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story
   Take me back, my love, I need you now
   Come back and carry me home
   Take me back and heal these broken wings
   Come back and carry me home
