Life is short... and nature doesn't give a damn, so let's lose the baggage.

lyrics

Second Hand Wings
(Winters, Sherman)

When I see you in the distance
In the middle of our days
And I find myself wanting you
In so many ways
Find myself approaching you
and I can't make up my mind
Do I bless you or undress you
And take you from behind

I'll find you a new set of wings
If we lose yours tonight
And play at other things
We'll wander 'round
Some second hand store
And find some on sale
Some not needed any more
Second hand wings

There is only this moment
There is only right now
And yet we start dreaming of
Another path somehow
As if we had the option
To avoid the final fall
And desire is on fire
Laughing at us all

Such a wasted effort
What an energetic thought
That we could somehow alter
This history we have wrought
All the agonies and ecstasies
That tumble in our wake
Are proof of our existence
You can't call them all mistakes

I'll find you a new set of wings...
