On Silent Wings Lyrics

(Tony Joe White/James Ralston)

There was a time when I would have followed you
to the ends of the earth
I was willing to share it all with you
the love, the hurt
I've seen you when your dreams
were falling in the dust
But I never stopped believing in you
I always thought our love was strong enough
One you could hold on to...ohhh

You never see it coming
You just let it fly
on silent wings, silent wings
You can't hide what you you feel inside
and the fire has left your eyes
silent wings

I can see us in our dreams and we're dancing
I can almost hear the song
But the prayers, they go unanswered
but we both know, we're just hanging on
oooh, I feel the shame
but I'll never know the reason why
the rug was pulled so gently from under my feet
I only know that something good has died
between you and me, oh it's just a memory

You never see it coming
You just go separate ways
silent wings, silent wings
No more promises to break
oh our love has slipped away
silent wings

You never see it coming
but you know it has to end
silent wings, silent wings
I will never be the same again
I feel the whisper of the wing
silent wings

Silent wings...ohhh
Silent wings...ohhh

No more promises to break 
oh our love has slipped away
silent wings
I will never be the same again
I feel the whisper of the wing
silent wings ....ohhh
Never be the same again....silent wings, silent wings.
