Enormous Wings

There once a very old man Who had enormous wings There once a very old man Who had enormous wings They say he saw the world Through the eyes of a blue dog There once a man Who had enormous wings It was sad the rain had knocked him down People came to see from all around He was lying there He was lying there His dreams are forever entangled in the mud He's an angel tangled in the mud Every soul you meet may be a stranger He's an angel, must be coming for the children It was sad the rain had knocked him down People came to see from all around He was lying there And though he'd like to sleep The stars fall to the earth in heaps And he's got tears in his eyes 'Cause the town is filled with so many spies They all avert their eyes The rain had knocked him down People came to see from all around He was lying there It was sad the rain had knocked him down He was lying there They say he saw the world Through the eyes of a blue dog He's an angel Who had enormous wings (There once was a very old man) (Who had enormous wings)
