Flown Away
Lene Marlin · Playing My Game [1999]
I've flown too high on borrowed wings
Beyond the clouds and where the angels sings
In a sky containing
No one but me
Up there's all-empty
And down there's the sea
No one here but me
There's nothing but light
That comes into sight, oh
There's something up here that makes me wince
And I still got the feelings that I've felt ever since
I got to this place
Arrived at last
In front there's the future
Right back there's the past
Everything's moving so fast
There's nothing but light
That comes into sight, oh
The present like I've never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay?
Please, my wings
Fly me away
The present like I've never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay?
Please, my wings
Fly me away
Please my wings
Fly me away
Please, my wings
Fly me away
Beyond the clouds and where the angels sings
In a sky containing
No one but me
Up there's all-empty
And down there's the sea
No one here but me
There's nothing but light
That comes into sight, oh
There's something up here that makes me wince
And I still got the feelings that I've felt ever since
I got to this place
Arrived at last
In front there's the future
Right back there's the past
Everything's moving so fast
There's nothing but light
That comes into sight, oh
The present like I've never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay?
Please, my wings
Fly me away
The present like I've never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay?
Please, my wings
Fly me away
Please my wings
Fly me away
Please, my wings
Fly me away
