Mel Tillis Lyrics
"Scarlet Wings"

(Damon Black)

I just overheard him calling you an angel
And I guess he's found his heaven's touch you bring
But just wait until he tries to find the way of holding heaven
When his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings.

Cause another has to say to scarlet wings just fly away
Been gone will be the song his angel sings
And there's no returning flight just cold and lonely nights
While his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings.

--- Instrumental ---

But he just stood in disbelief and call it envy
When I try to tell him what that all told me
Now let him join the rains of those call blues that never listen
While his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings.

'Cause another has to say to scarlet wings just fly away...
Been gone will be the song his angel sings
And there's no returning flight just cold and lonely nights
While his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings.

While his angel's leaving out on scarlet wings...
