Wings On My Heels – Eddie Reader – letras

I never was too good at dancingSomewhere I’d step out of lineBut I knew that I had wings on my heelsWhen they played in three-quarter timeThe pride of the north-end would swaggerThe blades from the south-side would shineBut I swear those boys would hold on for dear lifeWhen they played in three-quarter timeOne by one they pulled down those mirrored hallsOne by one the winters came forgetting namesI never learned how to sweet talkThose are the words I can’t findYet I had a tongue of pure silverWhen they played in three-quarter timeOne by one they pulled down those mirrored hallsOne by one the winters came forgetting namesMoney might slip through my fingersAnd there won’t be much to call mineBut I’ll know that I had wings on my heelsWhen they played in three-quarter time
