My mother said "There's only one way,"

Sweet angel boy, narrow and straight

Time is passed teachings they fade

Now her angel boy has gone astray



chorus 1:

I've held the hand of the devil, felt his breath on my skin

Dip me into the water, wash me again

Can I still be forgiven for all of these things?

Or have I gone too far now, have I lost my wings?



I found a priest, I spoke my mind

Asked if I'd sinned one too many times

He said "My son you're only a man,"

Then I said "Sir, you don't understand"



chorus 1:

I've held the hand of the devil, felt his breath on my skin

Dip me into the water, wash me again

Can I still be forgiven for all of these things?

Or have I gone too far now, have I lost my wings?



God help us all for what we have done

We've lost our way, we can't find the sun

We make our beds, we seal our fate

Is there still time, or is it too late



chorus 2:

We've held the hand of the devil, felt his breath on our skin

Dip us into the water, wash us again

Can we still be forgiven for all of these things?

Or have we gone too far now, have we lost our wings?



We've held the hand of the devil, felt his breath on our skin

Dip us into the water, wash us again

Can we still be forgiven for all of these things?

Or have we gone too far now, have we lost our wings?



Have we lost our wings?
