Wings Of Speed Lyrics
Fly, on wings of speed,
That will bring you home to me,
I'll never be free,
And darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate,
I play out the base,
As I sit and wait,
What visions I see.
In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus as her plan,
And water in her hand,
I bought along the way,
She comes to me.
Now as night is falling,
A candle left to light the way,
Sailing hope to morning,
She comes to me calling,
To brighten up my darkest day,
And the world fades away,
With her smile.
(Oh yeah)
(I wait for your smile yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fly, on wings of speed,
That will bring you home to me,
I'll never be free,
And darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile.
(Oh yeah,yeah)
(I wait for your smile yeah)
(Yeah yeah yeah)
That will bring you home to me,
I'll never be free,
And darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile.
My feet are bound by fate,
I play out the base,
As I sit and wait,
What visions I see.
With Jesus as her plan,
And water in her hand,
I bought along the way,
She comes to me.
A candle left to light the way,
Sailing hope to morning,
She comes to me calling,
To brighten up my darkest day,
And the world fades away,
With her smile.
(I wait for your smile yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
That will bring you home to me,
I'll never be free,
And darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile.
(I wait for your smile yeah)
(Yeah yeah yeah)

Written about Weller's feelings for the John Waterhouse painting, The Lady of Shallot.

This is the painting - http://9freepictures.com/d/file/art-online/200912/the-lady-of-shalott-138-2.jpg

Yeah I've heard the painting explanation before. To me it's something in addition to that and a beautiful song.
