Take to the Sky |
Blue sky morning, red sky night |
Sailor take warning |
When the eagle takes flight |
If I had wings I would delight |
And fly away |
Black cloud riding |
On the cotton fields back home |
Every man’s an island |
In the desert of his soul |
Take to the sky |
— there's nowhere else to go — |
And fly away |
I can rememer all the days of my life |
Cold, dark september |
When the eagle took flight |
I had to stay |
I had to stay |
I cried a river to the empty sky |
Someone deliver me by and by |
I’ll fly away, Il’ll fly away |
It don’t take nothing to be lonely |
It comes too easy to be holy |
It does nothing for the soul |
But tear holes in tomorrow |
Somebody somebody said I don’t want |
To be nobody saidI don’t want to see |
Nobody said I don’t want to need nobody said nothing at all |
Sitting and waiting for the axe to fall |
Sun come raining, lighten up the day |
I ain’t complaining |
I got nothing to say |
I’ll fly away, I’ll fly away |
If I had the courage to be flying blind |
I’d fly too high to buy my way home |
Somebody wants somebody |
To be lonely and nobody |
Settling only for love- |
How much time can you borrow? |
Making it easy to lie |
Faking it on the sly |
Shaking and stammering |
Taking it up to the sky |
Hammering nails in tomorrow |
Sun come raining lighten up the sky |
I ain’t complaining |
I get no reply |
I’ll fly away, I’ll fly away |
When I get the courage to be flying blind |
I’ll fly to high to buy my way home |
