Susanna Hoffs - Enormous Wings lyrics

There once a very old man
Who had enormous wings
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

It was sad the rain had knocked him down
People came to see from all around
He was lying there who 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

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

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

The rain had knocked him down
People came to see from all around
He was lying there
It was sad the rain had knocked him down
He was lying there

They say he saw the world
Through the eyes of a blue dog he's an angel
Who had enormous wings
(There once was a very old man)
(Who had enormous wings)
