She loved him like he was
The last man on earth
Gave him everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come loving up on her
Give a little, take back

She'd tell him about her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord, he loved to make her cry
"You're crazy for believing
You'll ever leave the ground"
He said, "Only angels know how to fly"

(Chorus)
And with a broken wing, she still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man, you oughta see her fly

Come Sunday morning, she didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to her bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowing in the breeze

(Repeat chorus)

With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man, you oughta see her fly
