IF I HAD WINGS
(Charlie Burchill / Jim Kerr)

Simple Minds


Open inside something about this pain 
There's something about this sweet refrain 
Reminds me that you're not there 
And if I could care there's something about this curse 
Like a needle inside a silken purse 
Reminds me of all that you'd bring 
If I had wings 
I'm still standing 

Blue mountain high 
Only the fables get to fly 
Without these words there's no reason why 
It reminds me of all that you bring 

If I had wings 
Would like to teach myself 
If I had wings 
Would learn to stir myself 
If I had wings 
Strapped inside won't be denied 

Nightmare brings 
All that you said 
And if I could fly 
Long time saviour 
That's the sinner's crime 
Well without such trust 
I know that I can never find 
Never find - Never find - Never find 

If I had wings 
If I had wings 

I'm still standing 

Never find - Never find - Never find 

Open inside something about this pain 
There's something about this sweet refrain 
Reminds me that you're not there 
And if I could care there's something about this curse 
Like a needle inside a silken purse 
Reminds me of all that you'd bring 
If I had wings 
If I had wings 
If I had wings 
If I had wings
