In memory of Michael Hutchence (22 January 1960 – 22 November 1997)
The main reason for including this song in the list is because of the line “I told you that we could fly, ’cause we all have wings; but some of us don’t know why.” It is a timeless love song. This, along with ‘By My Side’ were the 2 INXS songs played at Michael Hutchence’s funeral.
Lyrics
Don’t ask me
What you know is true
Don’t have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I’d make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
‘Cause we all have wings
But some of us don’t know why
But some of us don’t know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart
And they could never ever tear us apart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
You
You were standing
I was there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
I was there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
I
I was standing
You were there….
I was standing
You were there….
