Lyrics Your Little Wings - Luka Bloom

Your Little Wings

So you re preparing for the weekend
Spray on colour try the high-heeled shoes
Comparing notes with all your girlfriends
Making plans for smokes and booze
Friday night s a giddy feeling
You never know what is in store
Avoid the looks from worried parents
You go waltzing out the door
I can t protect you from the world
I can t protect you from yourself
I can t protect you from the world
If I could I would
If I could I would
It was midnight when I saw you
Alone and propped against a wall
Lipstick mascara run together
Couldn t hide the bruises from your fall
Your little wings could bring you anywhere
Your little heart is open as the sky
I m haunted by the empty gaze
A naked truth within your eye
I can t protect you
Dear God take care of all the young ones
Chasing shadows in the night
I hope you guide them all home safely
Home to sleep and to the morning light
I can t protect you from the world
I can t protect you from yourself
I can t protect you from the world
If I could I would
If I could I would
