DIP YOUR WINGS
(Paul Fox / Franne Golde / Bernie Taupin)

Peter Cetera


If you see me coming up an open road
With an empty glass and a single rose
Take a turn towards the shifting light
There you’ll see my shadow lost in the night

Endless flight has no directions now
To a coward’s kiss from a hero’s vow
If I could find the words, I’d pick up the phone
If I was half a man, I wouldn’t sleep alone

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings

Oh you shook your head like a wild horse
Beneath the southern cross in the frozen north
Oh when our bodies touched on that burning beach
I could have sworn that heaven was within our reach

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings

Time just crawls here behind my eyes
If the scar heals, can our love survive
Life’s only purpose seems so distant now
If thee’s a chance at all won’t you show me how

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings
