Week 24a - Don​’​t Clip My Wings (210611)

from Song A Week, Volume 6 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

It was a tragedy that's certain
One hundred dead or more
No one could quite determine
What happened in the storm

Were the instruments defective
Did the captain fail his crew
Only two left in the wreckage
And one is right in front of you

Ground me here 'til further notice
Take my 14k ring
But I'm already at my lowest
Please don't clip my wings

My lesson's clear to me I swear it
I'll never take another chance
But I don't think that I could bear it
To spend eternity on land

Like sailors need the salty ocean
And truckers need the open road
Don't break me I'm already broken
Looking up from down below

Ground me here 'til further notice
Take my 14k ring
But I'm already at my lowest
Please don't clip my wings
