In Another Life



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

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

In another life you are with me, and I'm with you



Jonatha Brooke, 10 Cent Wings, from the album "10 Cent Wings", 1997.
