Verse 1
In the doorway, the sun waits
But I will not wake
I could never see love
Or feel love, or be loved
Refrain
And if I had no wings to fly home with
I'd sing my way back to you
Verse 2
In the winter, the trees lose
The bird song, their green youth
And I'll be gone before too long
So while I'm here, I'll feel it all
Refrain
Because I have no wings to fly home with
I'll sing my way back to you
Chorus
Go then, with the hours
It's too late
There is too much time to waste
While we look the other way
Verse 3
Oh, brother, sinner, savior sent
To teach us how to love again
Your shadow is no enemy
Your darkest heart is the light we could be
And I will try to see you
To feel you, to free you
Refrain
Because you have no wings to fly home with
I'll bring the song back to you
And if you have no wings to fly home with
I'll bring the song back
I'll sing my way back
I'll bring the song back to you
