Let her in to this heart of mine, a twist or turn or a straight line
I knew her, really knew her
I held her hand through the tears she cried, her daddy’s gone and it just ain’t right
And I held her, really held her
I drew a breath and cast my feelings aside, I said we’ll fix it get it right this time
I said I love you, really love you
I played his words over in my mind, read his letters by the candlelight
Cos I had to, really had to
Fly red kite sky tonight
On broken wings
Fly dream of mine on cloud nine
Played on broken strings
What do you do to a blind man’s heart, do you caress it or tear it apard
Did you love me, really love me
Was your smile just a fool’s disguise, was your twist a blind man’s compromise
And I cried, really I cried
I took nothing gave you everything, it cut me deeply but I let you in
I bled for her, really for her
A stitch in time helps a day go by, I can’t forget no matter how I try
I still need her, really need her
Fly red kite sky tonight
On broken wings
Fly dream of mine on cloud nine
Played on broken strings
They say it gets easier with the ticking of the clock
They say the cuts will heal and the scars will fade
They say the tears will dry with the sands of time
They say the pain will go at the end of the rainbow
Fly red kite sky tonight
On broken wings
Fly dream of mine on cloud nine
Played on broken strings
