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

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
