Clipped Wings - Matt Costa

She was the rain dancing in puddles

She was trouble

Me, with the games I played was a puzzle

But I loved her, it’s true

Now I know what love can do

Once we were young, and lived dangerous

But the rains poured down, they started to change us

We both grew so ancient

Singing in circles around her were golden cherubs of sorrow

I tried to bury them all in the backyard with a shovel

But I only dug myself a hole

Once we were young, and lived dangerous

But the rains poured down, they started to change us

We both grew so ancient

There we were, familiar strangers

When the rains poured down

Heaven knows why she changed her mind

Or she saved her goodbyes

Over cloudy skies, we tried, with clipped wings, to fly

She was the rain dancing in puddles

She was trouble

Once we were young, and lived dangerous

But the rains poured down, they started to change us

We both grew so ancient

So there we were, familiar strangers

When the rains poured down

Heaven knows why she changed her mind

Or she saved her goodbyes

Over cloudy skies, we tried, with clipped wings, to fly
