Wax and Feathers Lyrics

My father burned the midnight oil,
gluing together wax and feathers.
When he was through, I looked like Gabriel-
a little tattered, a little weathered.
It wasn"t the sun that melted my wings,
so close I could hear the angels sing.
The injustice of disbelief
dropped me from the heavens" canopy.
Thrown to the sky like a stone from a sling,
dropped like lead to the arms of the sea.
I rest my head on the ocean floor.
You walk above me.

It wasn"t the sun that melted my wings,
so close I could hear the angels sing.
The misfortune of disbelief
dropped me from the heavens" canopy.
