Wings - Ricky Nelson

That a man does things for gold

Drives him crazy and it makes him old

Before his time.

Sitting round waiting for the rainbows end

Wasting time and losing friends

Never knowing that it ends before his eyes

But those of us who seek the truth will be there when she rides.

Talking 'bout wings to carry us over the water

Talking 'bout wings picking us up by the waves

Ah, so many things can bread misunderstanding

We’ll soon be landing on velvet wings.

Once met a man and his words were wise and he looked me in the eyes

He said brother don’t you compromise in what you feel

All things figure in a bigger plan

And its up to every man.

Just to do the best

To reach his own ideals

And build a world around himself

And live it like he feels.

Talking 'bout wings to carry us over the water

Talking 'bout wings picking us up by the waves

Ah, so many things can bread misunderstanding

We’ll soon be landing on velvet wings.

Talking 'bout wings to carry us over the water

Talking 'bout wings picking us up by the waves

Ah, so many things can bread misunderstanding

We’ll soon be landing on velvet wings…
