She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart It's just a matter of time They'll spread their wings and fly (CHORUS): Like two sparrows in a hurricane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams And faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it Love says they will There's a baby crying and one more on the way There's a wolf at the door With a big stack of bills they can't pay The clouds are dark and the wind is high But they can see the other side (CHORUS) She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart It's just a matter of time They'll spread their wings and fly (CHORUS)
