Song For Paddy (Wings Of Desire)

You were an easy prey

For a game that only a fool or a poet would play

Call it "Wings Of Desire"

All men shelter until it had nowhere left to hide

But how to beat desire

When it lights up the world like a funeral pyre

Everone loses in the end

Even those with an ace-full hand

There's no cheating when playing for time

Your song rang true

A friend who'd lay down his life for you

That song is mine

The place I'd always wished to find
