"Enormous Wings" lyrics - SUSANNA HOFFS

There once a very old man
Who had enormous wings

They say he saw the world
Through the eyes of a blue dog
There once a man
Who had enormous wings

[Chorus:]
It was sad the rain had knocked him down
People came to see from all around
He was lying there

His dreams are forever
Entangled in the mud
He's an angel tangled in the mud
Every soul you meet may be a stranger
He's an angel
He must be coming for the children

[Chorus]

And though he'd like to sleep
The stars fall to the earth in heaps
And he's got tears in his eyes
'Cause the town is filled with so many spies
They all avert their eyes

[Chorus]
