Lyrics They Always Fly Away - Blouse

They Always Fly Away

Do you want to follow me indoors?
Take the elevator to my floor
There’s a lonely blackbird on the telephone wire
He’s there most days
If we don’t have time for everything
Let’s at least sit quietly with him
Just long enough to notice when he flies away
Because he always flies away
And tomorrow everything will change
That’s what all our teachers used to say
We don’t need to wonder if the rows on our face
Will turn to grey
But since we know the movements of the stars
We know exactly where we are
And we’ll be together when the leaves are acting strange
We’ll watch them fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
There’s a mountain underneath the clouds
There’s a heaven underneath us now
Can you make out the diamonds on the edge of the sea
From where you lay?
There’s a blackbird sitting on a line
And we’re all here navigating time
Let’s watch him long enough until he flies away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
They always fly away
