WINGS OF A SONG

Intro

Verse 1

I woke up Tuesday with a melody

That hadn't got a name or a home yet

It followed me from kitchen to the car

Humming at the lights — haven't stopped yet

It walked me down the road beside the park

It sat beside me on the afternoon train

It tapped me on the shoulder after dark

Said — write me down before I'm gone again

Pre-Chorus

And I thought — maybe this is what it's like

To be completely, stupidly alive —

A tune you can't explain,

A feeling you can't drive away

Chorus

On the wings of a song

Everything feels right for a while

On the wings of a song

I could travel a thousand miles

There's nothing that a melody can't mend

Nothing that a chorus can't begin

On the wings of a song

I'm coming home again

Verse 2

I played it for my daughter on the stairs

She said — I've heard that somewhere

I said — yeah it's brand new

She said — no, Dad — it sounds like it's always been there

Like it's just been waiting here for you

And maybe that's the thing about a song

It doesn't come from somewhere that you go

It was always there where you belong

Growing up beneath the undertow

Pre-Chorus

And I thought — maybe this is what it's like

To be completely, stupidly alive —

A tune you can't explain,

A feeling you can't drive away

Chorus

On the wings of a song

Everything feels right for a while

On the wings of a song

I could travel a thousand miles

There's nothing that a melody can't mend

Nothing that a chorus can't begin

On the wings of a song

I'm coming home again

Middle Eight

Everybody's got a song inside

Everybody carries something bright

Everybody's got a thing they cannot hide

That lifts them up and carries them through the night

Through the night — through the night!

Final Chorus

On the wings of a song

Everything comes right in the end

On the wings of a song

What was broken starts to mend

There's nothing that a melody can't say

Nothing that a chorus can't repay

On the wings of a song

I found my way

I found my way

I found my beautiful way

Coda

La la la...

On the wings of a song...

La la la...
