Balrogs DO Have Wings!

I have just found out that in my exploration just recently from Moria to the breaking of the Fellowship that balrogs DO have wings, heres a quote directly out of the Fellowship of the Ring chapter The Bridge of Khazad-Dum

Quote:
You cannot pass [Gandalf] said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun. Go back to the shadow! You cannot pass'
The balrog made no answer. The fire in it seemed to die, but the darkness grew. It stepped forward slowly onto the bridge, and suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and it's wings spread from wall to wall; but still Gandalf could be seen, glimmering in the gloom; he seemed small, and all together alone: grey and bent, like a wizened tree before the onset onset a storm.
That is on page 322 in my copy of FotR, see people there it is in writing.
