Wilco - One Wing Lyrics






We once belonged to a bird
Who cast his shadow on this world
You were a blessing and I was a curse
I did my best not to make things worse for you

It isn't true, I always knew this would be our fate
This is what happens when we separate
This is happens, all dead weight, eventually

We may as well be made of stone
We can't be flown

One wing will never fly
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye

One wing will never ever fly
Neither yours nor mine
One wing will never ever fly, dear
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye

One wing will never ever fly, dear
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye

  1. P.... B....

    intro sounds like a post rock emo thing

  2. J.... J....

    is this their best song? or have they beaten it

  3. r.... r....

    I have been starting my mornings and ending my evenings with this band for the past 2 years! I think I’m finally catching on!

  4. D.... C....

    Happy 9 years! Great song.

  5. M.... S....

    Living this song right now....heartbroken

  6. F.... P....

    That bass line....

  7. M.... K....

    love it!

  8. C.... ....

    you were a blessing and I was a curse..

    C.... ....

    i did my best not to make things worse

  9. T.... ....

    As odd as it is; I found out about this through Vinesauce. Better late than never :]
    Fantastic song.

    T.... ....

    Me too! I immediately went to find it. Once the drums came in, I was hooked.

    T.... ....

    Can you give me a link to that stream/video? I'm a huge fan of both Wilco and Vinesauce and didn't know they had a correlation lol :)

  10. p.... ....

    heartbreaking.

  11. G.... G....

    We belonged to a bird
    Who cast his shadow on this world
    You were a blessing and I was a curse
    I did my best not to make things worse, for you
    It isn't true

    I always knew this would be our fate
    This is what happens when we separate
    This is what happens to all dead weight, eventually

    We may as well be made of stone
    We can't be formed

    One Wing will never fly
    Neither yours nor mine
    I fear we can only wave goodbye

    One wing will never ever fly
    Neither yours nor mine
    I fear we can only wave goodbye

    One wing will never ever fly dear
    Nether yours nor mine
    I fear we can only wave goodbye

  12. J.... A....

    fantastic

  13. R.... B....

    This band has always been a favorite. I can't think of a single Wilco tune I don't like.

  14. o.... ....

    One of Wilco's saddest -- but most heartfelt -- songs.

    o.... ....

    The lyrics feel like complementary to the pungent "One by One". Or maybe only to me.

    o.... ....

    it's a 'break up song." and a friggin billiant one.

  15. P.... ....

    I think this week will be Wilco week for me. Starting with this one.

  16. L.... M....

    OH MY GOD!!! <3

  17. A.... M....

    freaking great song! love this and solitaire. theres a ton of great wilco songs though.

  18. M.... C....

    La mia track-song preferita da Wilco-the Album: stupenda! E sono le h. 1:58 di...notte, ne vale la pena. by Mauriwilco!!!

  19. r.... m....

    tweedy is one of the best song writers of all time in my opinion.

  20. j.... m....

    <3 this album (as well as anything Wilco)... unbelievable song writer, amazing musicians

  21. C.... O....

    lol its funny to me how different peoples opinions are. i hate saying this cuz i love wilco so much and i miss jay so much, but in my opinion being there is trash... when compared to their other albums of course. and AM and AGB are two of my favs. I was also very dissapointed in the whole love, but its slowly starting to grow on me the more i listen to it.

  22. r.... ....

    wilco helps me through the hardest days

    r.... ....

    Hello it is 6 years after you commented this, how are you in this day and age?

  23. y.... ....

    Just discovered this band a few months ago its already one of my all-time favorites. So awesome to discover great music in a time of mostly crap music!

  24. J.... R....

    @Snowshitshirlock completely agree, yankee hotel is quite over rated when compared to their other work

  25. m.... ....

    great band

  26. S.... R....

    @wilcojoe13

  27. C.... T....

    @TheFranco5 I agree. It's arranged very well.

  28. G.... O....

    que musica lixo affffffffffffffff

  29. S.... ....

    This song rips out my heart and puts it right back in. CHILLS.

  30. L.... B....

    @scoopztb EVery song on this album is amazing...Im totally obsessed with it...like I play guitar and write and I feel like these are songs I'd write...I like this album more than Yankee, but Yankee was GREAT

  31. C.... C....

    nice chill song. :P

  32. R.... D....

    @2:30 makes me smile :)

  33. k.... ....

    I accidentally listened to this album one day, and was intrigued immediately. When this song was finished I was so amazed I had to listen to it about 20 times just to calm down. It brought tears to my eyes. These guys did it! Amazing!

  34. A.... ....

    I love wilco because of it's really really chill / melodic / trippy / relaxing music and can still sound like an actual rock band. Wilco is Rock Music for the Ages!!

  35. g.... ....

    i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this song.

  36. O.... ....

    the guitar reminds me a very famous song! but can't remember which it is...

  37. b.... ....

    We don't have to wave goodbye. It doesn't have to be like this. Things CAN change. This CAN be fixed. I don't want to do this without you.

  38. L.... ....

    Beautiful.

  39. J.... ....

    I agree that i dont find this album very interesting.... but to say that theyve been a flat tire since yankee is just absurd. SBS was my favorite album so far, and ghost is born has 3 of my favorite wilco songs, so come on.

  40. s.... ....

    Very good point noahpiano! I love Spoon!

  41. s.... ....

    Are you serious!? This album is absolutely fantastic! Granted it's not Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but it's still a great album!

  42. e.... ....

    What a beautiful song. Only a musical genius can concieve a song that can combine sweet, powerful and even obscure elements in a perfect way.

  43. e.... ....

    theres also spoon. One of the most underappreciated bands ever.

  44. K.... L....

    the songs too short, dont want it to end really

  45. b.... ....

    great song, more references to Neil Young, as Wilco has musically and lyrically many times before...birds...casting a shadow ...etc..the birds in 'Helpless' and the Dangerbird...

  46. R.... K....

    Ehh in the beginning.
    But it really picks up.

  47. S.... ....

    Erstes Lied was mir auf Anhieb wahnsinnig gut gefiel an diesem Album!

  48. E.... ....

    i love this song.
    its pretty, the guitar flows.
    great album.

  49. C.... ....

    I'm a long time fan as well and so far this is better than their last outting

  50. T.... B....

    Saw them last night !Wapping NY..Wilco rocked!!

  51. S.... P....

    Beatles + Rolling Stones '/. Eagles = WILCO!

  52. S.... T....

    I'm a long time Wilco fan. Here is my one word review of their new album.....ehh (makes so so gesture)

  53. A.... P....

    very, very good

  54. J.... R....

    ya, its possible.

  55. n.... ....

    *sky blue sky

    and it sounds like this is going to be a little better. i don't know. we'll have to wait and see :)
