Three Miles Out – If I Could Fly lyrics

I WENT WALKING DOWN A RAINY STREET
I FEEL THE RAIN SPLASHING ABOUT MY COLD FEET
AND THROUGH THE WINDOW THERE'S A SIGN, COME ON IN
HAVE A CUP OF JOE ON ME AND SIT AND TALK AMONGST OLD FRIENDS

THROUGH THE BLINDS I SEE THEM, LAUGHING AND TALKING
I SWEAR GOD CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN

IF ONLY I HAD WINDS, I COULD FLY LIKE A BIRD
LOOKING DOWN ON YOU AND ME
IF ONLY I HAD WINGS, IF ONLY I COULD FLY

MY EYES ARE WET AND BURNING THROUGH THE WINDOW
THERE'S A GLARE OF SOMETHING THERE/ SOMETHING BURNING INSIDE
THE SMELL OF COFFEE, EGGS, AND BURNING BLACK TOAST
I GET MY CROSS OUT AND CARVE MY NAME IN THE WALL

THROUGH THE WINDOW, I'M EXPERIENCING THE RAIN
I SWEAR I CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS I WOULD FLY LIKE A BIRD LOOKING DOWN ON YOU AND ME
IF ONLY I HAD WINGS I WOULD FLY SO HIGH I'D BE LOOKING DOWN LOOKING DOWN YA
IF ONLY I HAD WINGS IF ONLY I COULD FLY

SHADES OF DISCONTENT HAVE TORN ME FROM MY HOUSE
AND AS I TRY TO SLEEP MY MIND FADES IN AND OUT
SECOND GLANCES, NO ROMANCES, I HAVE TAKEN MY CHANCES
WHEN I FLY TOO? HIGH

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS
I WOULD FLY LIKE A BIRD LOOKING DOWN ON YOU AND ME

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS I WOULD'D FLY SO HIGH
I'D BE LOOKING DOWN , LOOKING DOWN

IF ONLY I COULD FLY IF ONLY I HAD WINGS
I'D BE LOOKING DOWN ON YOU AND ME

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS IF ONLY I COULD FLY
