Broken Angels - Over the Rhine

I want to take a break from heartache

Drive away from all the tears I’ve cried

I’m a wasteland down inside

In the crawlspace under heaven

In the landscape of a wounded heart

I don’t know where to start

But the wild geese of Mary

Pierce the darkness with a song

And a light I’ve been running from

And running for so long

As their feathers spin their stories

I can still cling to my fears

Or I can run but they come along

And we both disappear just like all

All these broken angels

All these tattered wings

All these things come alive in me

An empty frame against the madness

Like the fence line holds the fog at bay

It’s gonna roll in anyway

Draw the curtain across heaven

Cut the sky, a cold coyote moon

Kills the season off too soon

Are they sparks or are they embers?

Fireflies or falling stars?

Are they fireworks that backfired?

Will they leave a scar?

Are they evening murmurations

That make me wish that I could fly?

Or are they just trespassing satellites

Intersecting my night sky just like all?

All these broken angels

All these tattered wings

All these things come alive in me

All these broken

All these broken angels

All these scary things

All these dreams are alive in me

Are they sparks or are they embers?

Fireflies or falling stars?

Are they fireworks that backfired?

Will they leave a scar?

Are they evening murmurations

That make me wish that I could fly?

Or are they just trespassing satellites

Intersecting my night sky just like all?

All these broken angels

All these tattered wings

All these things come alive in me

All these broken

All these broken angels

All these scary things

All these dreams are alive in me

All these broken

All these broken angels
