If you see me coming up an open road

With an empty glass and a single rose

Take a turn towards the shifting light

There you'll see my shadow lost in the night



Endless flight has no directions now

To a coward's kiss from a hero's vow

If I could find the words, I'd pick up the phone

If I was half a man, I wouldn't sleep alone



Send me no more angels on a restless wind

All I ever wanted were the simple things

If a love like ours means anything

Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings



Oh you shook your head like a wild horse

Beneath the southern cross in the frozen North

Oh when our bodies touched on that burning beach

I could have sworn that heaven was within our reach



Send me no more angels on a restless wind

All I ever wanted were the simple things

If a love like ours means anything

Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings



Time just crawls here behind my eyes

If the scar heals, can our love survive

Life's only purpose seems so distant now

If thee's a chance at all won't you show me how



Send me no more angels on a restless wind

All I ever wanted were the simple things

If a love like ours means anything

Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings
