[00:00.00]Hero with a Wing (2007 Remaster) - Robert Calvert
[00:15.50]I see myself a hero
[00:18.87]While one wings falls away
[00:22.55]And the dial approaches zero
[00:25.86]In a spiralling display
[00:29.53]My past life flashes feverishly
[00:32.80]And lives I did not lead
[00:36.04]Like the time I was a hero
[00:39.65]Of a weird outlandish breed
[00:55.60]One arm of flesh and muscle
[00:58.89]And one of feathered scale
[01:02.55]I was a hero with one wing
[01:06.05]That was of no avail
[01:09.35]I could only fly in circles
[01:12.90]Like a corkscrew in the sky
[01:16.28]My one wing flapping frantically
[01:20.12]While birds just glided by
[01:33.13]I launched myself from mountains
[01:36.29]And from the highest trees
[01:39.92]And though I could get nowhere
[01:43.12]Just landed on my knees
[01:46.61]But still I was a hero
[01:49.95]With one wing more than most
[01:53.65]Almost half an Angel;
[01:56.66]A whirling holy ghost
[02:19.98]My father was an eagle
[02:23.15]With two wings wide as sails
[02:26.80]My mother was the west wind witch
[02:30.42]With grasping finger nails
[02:33.73]She lured him from his aerie
[02:36.89]With her twittering device
[02:40.32]She kept him in a golden cage
[02:43.89]And fed him field mice
