Lyrics

(Latimer/bardens)
High rise blocks out the gloom
The pavement sticks like glue
You're getting nowhere
As you ride on a wing and a prayer
You're crying out loud
A face lost in the crowd
A voice no-one can hear
You'll get by on a wing and a prayer
So let it be
Let the breeze carry you to the sea
Let the wind take you where it will go

You'd better believe it, lay me where
(Love is everywhere, risin' me found and out)
And you can feel it you're halfway there
(Feels like you're gonna drown)
Just another lovesong ain't reachin' out no one's there
(Ain't no big thing)
Once you got the feelin', make you wanna sing
Just hold on to a wing and a prayer

Just a little homegrown, lights be
(Lots of smoke in the air)
Take it or leave it, it comes all for free
(You'll slowly slip away)
Just another love song ain't no big thing
(All senses prevail)
Once you get the feelin', makes you wanna sing
You'll fly home on a wing and a prayer so let it be
Let the breeze carry you to the sea
Let the wind take you where it will go

(Now you wonder how why)
You better believe it, love is everywhere
You can feel it, you're halfway there
Just another love song, ain't no big thing
(You can fly everywhere)
Once you got the feelin', makes you wanna sing
If you trust to a wing and a prayer so let it be
Let the breeze carry you to the sea
Let the wind take you where it will go

Just another love song, ain't no big thing
Once you got the feelin', make you wanna sing
Just another homegrown, there's lots of things
Take it or leave it, it comes all for free
If you trust to a wing and a prayer

You better believe it, love is everywhere
You can feel it, you're halfway there
Just another love song, ain't no big thing
Once you got the feelin', make you wanna sing
If you trust to a wing and a prayer
