If I Had Wings

Simple Minds · Néapolis [1998]

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 savior

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

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

And if I had wings

If I had wings

If I had wings
