Lyrics
Winding My Way
Winding my way through LIFE'S sorrows
Is there a sign that would show me the way?
Is there an angel near with some grace I could borrow?
I would be still for the words he might say
Every road it seems is an uphill run
Breaking my heart and knocking me back
I think need me a roller coaster car
I can take the downs it's the ups I lack
The storms they blow and shatter
I'm looking for an angel to
put me back together again
I'm looking for a friend.
I see shadows when I walk past
Hear the whispers on the wind
I don't have the strength to run
It's just another road where I won't win
I need a little time to lay down and rest
To lay sheltered from the wind
If an angel would come down and sing me a so
I would get up and start it all over again
I've lost everyone that cared along the way
turned somewhere back there on the wrong road
Doing those things that were no good for me
My worn collar turned up against the col
Every story had a bitter end
Rhymes I could not defend
I sing those dark songs lower than the blues
Why do I ride these deep low notes?
The angel said 'You ride them for the things you choose
The storms they blow and shatter me
I'm looking for an angel to but me back together again
I'm looking for a friend.
