Angel With Broken Wings

Intro – acoustic guitar

Verse 1

Just a simple man held the wheel

He had came this way many times before

It was lonely it was long it was slow

The truck stayed in lower gear

The snow came down and markings disappeared

He had to push on that was the only thing that was clear

Chorus

The snow flakes were blinding

Like stars out in space

He was the pilot in an eternal race

A universal cowboy in the Milky Way

His passenger the angel with broken wings

Verse 2

He had passed this way so many times before

In the land of nothingness what did he now see

A young angel holding a sign

That said I need a ride please help me

Not believing it was real he pulled over

Taking away the doubt she took off her coat

As she climbed in the truck the trucker pulled away

Chorus

The snow flakes were blinding

Like stars out in space

He was the pilot in an eternal race

A universal cowboy in the Milky Way

His passenger the angel with broken wings

Verse 3

After all the questions it was clear

All the fears and thank you’s just why they were here

It snowed harder and the road soon disappeared

If they didn’t find someplace to stop soon they’d be dead

The captain of the starship with the angel with broken wings

Found a wide place off the road to stop a temporary safety

Now to wait out the night in close company

In the sleeper wrapped close together

All they could do was wait out the weather

Bridge – spoken word

As with all adventurers it had an end

A breakfast together at a truck stop

Short goodbyes different pathways going on

Far away from there but not forgotten

Fond memories of a place in time

Healed wings that once again could fly

Another destination star captain of mine

Chorus – emotional

The snow flakes were blinding

Like stars out in space

He was the pilot in an eternal race

A universal cowboy in the Milky Way

His passenger the angel with broken wings

Outro – quiet
