To Live Is To Fly |
Won’t say I love you babe |
Won’t say I need you babe |
But I’m going to get you babe |
And I will not do you wrong |
Living’s mostly wasting time |
And I waste my share of mine |
But it never feels too good |
So let’s not take too long |
I’m as soft as glass and You’re a gentle man |
We got the sky to talk about |
And the world to lie upon |
Days up and down they come |
Like rain on a conga drum |
Forget most, remember some |
But don’t turn none away |
Everything is not enough |
Nothing is too much to bear |
Where you been is good and gone |
All you keep’s the getting there |
To live is to fly low and high |
So shake the dust off of your wings |
And the sleep out of your eyes |
It’s goodbye to all my friends |
It’s time to go again |
Think of all the poetry |
And the pickin' down the line |
I’ll miss the system here |
The bottom’s low and the treble’s clear |
But it don’t pay to think too much |
On the things you leave behind |
I may be gone but I won’t be long |
I’ll be bringing back the melody |
And the rhythm that I find |
We all got holes to fill |
And them holes are all that’s real |
Some fall on you like a storm |
Sometimes you dig your own |
But choice is yours to make |
Time is yours to take |
Some dive into the sea |
Some toil upon the stone |
To live is to fly low and high |
So shake the dust off of your wings |
The sleep out of your eyes |
