Jimmy Stewart's Wings

JIMMY STEWART’S WINGS © KURT MAHONEY

I was lost in my own foolishness
On a starry night in June
Halfway in between consciousness
When I breeze drifted through my room
Wondering where the time had gone
As it passed before my eyes
I lied awake ‘til the break of dawn
The night Jimmy Stewart died

Chasing rainbows
And pretty girls
Eager to fly from the nest
It takes all kinds to fill this world
I ain’t no different from the rest
Keep on moving
But watch your back
Don’t ever let them see what’s inside
But I thought I felt the wall begin to crack
The night Jimmy Stewart died

Mr. Smith won’ you go to Washington
And give them one more piece of your mind?
Tell them you can’t take it with you
And your promises just ain’t worth a dime
It’s a wonderful life
Here in cyberspace
I can almost see the look on old Harvey’s face
When you tell him how far we’ve come





Stealing kisses
In sleepy towns
Skinny dipping after church
Ice cream sodas and circus clowns
No need to fix it
If it works
Did you hear that sweet peculiar sound?
Yes, it was much to clear to deny
That was the sound of an angel
Who got his wings
The night Jimmy Stewart died
It was the sound of an angel
Who got his wings
The night Jimmy Stewart died
The night Jimmy Stewart died
