Wings Under Her Skin
June 2, 2012
Falmouth, ME

I met a girl in New York City
Who has wings under her skin
And every time she sings,
The heavens beg to let her in.
I was just sitting on the fire escape
When she came walking by
When we got to talking, she kept rocking,
Tears filled up her eyes
She whispered, “I I I
Am falling.
I’m an angel who’s forgotten how to fly.
I told her darling,
Angel, you don’t have to cry.

I kissed her once, took her inside,
Made cardamom sweet tea.
I gave her some and felt the hum
Her song inside of me.
She smiled only slightly,
But her eyes said all the rest.
And then we knew the heavens,
Well, they’re only second best.
I told her, “I I I
Am falling
In love with you, I think we oughtta try.
She told me darling,
Angel, I remember how to fly.

So we packed our bags
And took the road
Out to the misty north
Where the gray and green
Just washed us clean
Down to the things I’d never seen
Before I knew just what it means
To run from heaven with a fallen angel.

She came with me
Out where the flute echoes off the side of the mountain.
And we were free
Of all the world holding us down.
I wanna be
Up to my waist, under the fountain.
Or out to sea,
So far I’m not afraid to drown.

I met a girl in New York City
Who has wings under her skin
And every time she sings,
The heavens beg to let her in.
I wanna take her to the movies,
I wanna kiss her in the park.
I wanna feel the way she whispers,
Wanna hold her in the dark
And tell her, “I I I
Am faling,
In love with you,
I think it’s true,
There’s a fire there if you can feel a spark.”
