Wings Of Speed

Paul Weller · Stanley Road [1995]

Fly on wings of speed

That will bring you home to me

I'll never be free - from the darkness I se

As I wait for your smile



Though my hands are tied,

My feet are bound by fate

With clay at the base - as I sit and wait

What visions I see



In dreams, she floats on a stream,

With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,

Her boat along the way - as she comes to me



Now as the light is falling

One candle left to light the way,

Sailing home to the morning

She comes to me calling,



To brighten up my darkest day,

& the world fades away...

With her smile



Fly on wings of speed

That will bring you home to me

I'll never be free - from the darkness I se

As I wait for your smile
