Thrice - Silver Wings lyrics
[Thrice - Silver Wings lyrics]
From tender years you took me for granted
But still I deigned to
Wander through your lungs
While you were sleeping soundly in your bed
Your drapes were silver wings
Your shutters flung
I drew the poison from the summer's sting
And eased the fire out of your fevered skin
I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing
And if you'd let me, I would move again
I've danced 'tween sunlit strands
Of lover's hair
Helped form the final words before your death
I've pitied you and plied your sails with air
Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath
And after all of this, I am amazed
That I am cursed far more than I am praised
But still I deigned to
Wander through your lungs
While you were sleeping soundly in your bed
Your drapes were silver wings
Your shutters flung
I drew the poison from the summer's sting
And eased the fire out of your fevered skin
I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing
And if you'd let me, I would move again
I've danced 'tween sunlit strands
Of lover's hair
Helped form the final words before your death
I've pitied you and plied your sails with air
Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath
And after all of this, I am amazed
That I am cursed far more than I am praised
