Heavy Wings

Heavy wings, my love

Heavy wings

I just wanted to take flight

Like every other woman

Who has ever lived

Heavy wings, my love

Heavy wings

Heavy wings, my love

Heavy wings

The river Seine was just

A catch net, my love

One that I thought

I would never need

I had other plans

But I had heavy wings

Heavy wings, my love

Heavy wings

They call me the Queen of Serenity

As if I were just asleep

There on the quay

Heavy wings, my love

Heavy wings

In time, they will wonder who I am

In time, they will wonder where I'm from

They cast my image

In plaster of Paris

Made me the face

Of resuscitation

Heavy wings, my love

Heavy wings

Heavy wings, my love

Heavy wings

I just wanted to take flight

Like every other woman

Who has ever lived

But all I had were my plans

And my heavy wings
