Lyrics

There was a time when I 
would have followed you 
to the end of the earth 
I was willing to share it all with you 
the love the hurt

I've seen you in your dreams 
were falling in the dust 
but I never stopped believing in you 
I always thought our love was strong enough 
one you could hold on to oh

You never see it coming 
you just let it fly 
on silent wings silent wings 
you can't hide what you feel inside 
and the fire has left your eyes 
on silent wings

I see us in our dreams 
and we are dancing 
I can almost hear the song 
but the prayers they go unanswered 
between you and me oh it's just a memory

You never see it coming 
you just go separate ways 
on silent wings silent wings 
there's no more promises to break 
oh our love has slipped away 
on silent wings

You never see it coming 
but you know it has to end 
on silent wings silent wings 
and I will never be the same again 
I feel the whisper of the wind 
on silent wings

There's no more promises to break 
oh our love has slipped away 
on silent wings ooh oh 
on silent wings – never be the same again 
silent wings silent wings
