Lana Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tried to heal my broken wings
She holds my sou up
Standing with time
Autumn rains wash the tears
From the sky
Flying high
I watch the hands of love move down
Across a cloud of windswept dreams
I hold my head up
Standing with time
Autumn rains wash the tears
From the sky
Flying high
Like a singing string I feel alive
Far away candles light the falling sun
And diamonds fill the naked sky
Walking barefoot on orchid petals soft
My soul is free to fly
A moonlit angel stole my heart
And tried to heal my broken wings
She holds my sou up
