Shannon Stephens - 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
