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
