lend me your wings so I might fly
up to a world beyond my reach
where in the night stars safely lie
without the heavy words of speech

there I shall wait for you to call
upon this heart yours to mine
I know that fate shall not forestall
the glint which in my eye does shine

I wait in vain for a lonely day
I wait, a hopeless wretch enthralled
and so this wish of you I pray
lend me your wings so I might fall
