lyrics

A Halo That Fits
Dave Gunning

Reached out far and lost my grip
Tried a few things I won't admit
And nothing changed me

In any good deed I have done
An unlikely hero was overcome
And it sent me drifting

I left free on the run
And got to close to the sun
Landed right here in the ditch
Can't find a halo that fits

Broke this ground ploughed these rows
Another season and nothing grows
I know I let you down

Good intentions solid plans
The days slipped right through my hands
And scattered all around

I tried each one on for size
There were so many that caught my eye
I must have launched a thousand ships
Can't find a halo that fits

Some look at us and think we're broken
Some look at us and think we've got it made

I've flown like the Devil into the sun
Lost my friends one by one
But I haven't lost you

I'm no angel as you know just hung up as this river flows
It's true love with a little twist can't find a halo that fits

Ya just the same as everyone that got too close to the sun
And landed right here in the ditch can't find a halo that fits
