Lyrics & Music: Stuart Adamson

It’s a mighty fine line
Between true love and desperation
There’s a mountain you must climb
Between talking and the conversation

I have to learn the difference
Between walking out and walking away
Sometimes there’s just a place to live
But here I’ve found a place where I can stay

Without wings
You have taught me how to fly
Without wings
Through the darkness of the night

I have dreamed
And cast off my earthly ties
You have taught me how to fly
Without wings

There’s a whole lot of time
Between always and forever
There’s a whole lot of change
Between being and being together

Takes a moment in the darkness
To know how much you love the light
And you have to know the truth
Before you start to understand the lies

Without wings
You have taught me how to fly
Without wings
Through the darkness of the sky

I have dreamed
And cast off my earthly ties
You have taught me how to fly
Without wings

I say you have to know the truth
Before you start to understand the lies, those lies

Without wings
You have taught me how to fly
Without wings
Through the darkness of the sky

I have dreamed
And cast off my earthly ties
You have taught me how to fly
Without wings

I have dreamed
And cast off my earthly ties
You have taught me how to fly
Without wings

Without wings
