Horse with the wings

The horse with the wings never turned up for the party,
And I wonder how long until he comes looking for me,
So I wait in the room by the river, and I watch the world go by.
And I hear a girl cry and I notice the sound it comes from my own mouth,
And I hear your words "What have I done now? What have I done now?",
And I look to the wall and you look to the hallway,
And you say, "I´m sorry for whatever it is.",
And I feel myself groan cause I know I´ve lived alone with you here for years now,
And the scratching of the metal as you´re putting on the kettle,
Makes my skin crawl and I feel small,
And the birds they slip through the cracks in the glass,
And there´s blood on the floor.
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
Don´t talk to me like I´m a shell you found on the beach,
And you put to your ear and you hear how clear I sound,
And you say, "Sing me a song," like I´ve nothing better to do than sing songs for you.
And you hang me on the wall so I´m taller than before,
And I feel like I might fall but I don´t.
I hang there quietly watching the life we lead,
Like it´s a prize I could never win.
A sea, I could never swim.
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
And I wonder how long until he comes looking for me,
So I wait in the room by the river, and I watch the world go by.
And I hear a girl cry and I notice the sound it comes from my own mouth,
And I hear your words "What have I done now? What have I done now?",
And I look to the wall and you look to the hallway,
And you say, "I´m sorry for whatever it is.",
And I feel myself groan cause I know I´ve lived alone with you here for years now,
And the scratching of the metal as you´re putting on the kettle,
Makes my skin crawl and I feel small,
And the birds they slip through the cracks in the glass,
And there´s blood on the floor.
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
Don´t talk to me like I´m a shell you found on the beach,
And you put to your ear and you hear how clear I sound,
And you say, "Sing me a song," like I´ve nothing better to do than sing songs for you.
And you hang me on the wall so I´m taller than before,
And I feel like I might fall but I don´t.
I hang there quietly watching the life we lead,
Like it´s a prize I could never win.
A sea, I could never swim.
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
