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 |
