Ten Cent Wings

JONATHA'S NOTE:

Boston again. I remember my life flashing through me when I sang it this time. I also remember taking off my guitar to sing it and having a huge sweat stain all across the front of my dress where the guitar had been. Show biz.
LYRICS: If I knew what I was after, I’d remember where I’d been
If I was sure of something better, I’d go, I’d go
But I am just another picture, and I watch myself like you
I imagine what you’re thinking,
I know, I know

Ten cent wings, I’ll take two
Pin them to my sweater and I’ll sail above the blue
Ten cent wings, tried and true
Orbiting like satellites I’ll sail away with you

I will love across the borders, I will wait until it’s dark
I will fly and you’ll be with me, my wings, your heart
Then our memory may fail us, and our language will go too
But the shooting stars will catch our
Celestial view

Ten cent wings, I’ll take two
Pin them to my sweater and I’ll sail above the blue
Ten cent wings, tried and true
Orbiting like satellites I’ll sail away with you

But I’ll never tell, I’ll never say, I’ll never be that brave

Ten cent wings, I’ll take two
Pin them to my sweater and I’ll sail above the blue
Ten cent wings tried and true
Orbiting like satellites I’ll sail away with you
Ten cent wings, I’ll take two
Pin them to my sweater and I’ll sail above the blue
Ten cent wings, tried and true
In another life you are with me and I’m with you
