Fly Away

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fly away little bird Any place in this open mouthed world Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you But you won't rest Everyone's got a need to go Most of us stick with our row to hoe But not you, you're the black crow With a straight line, and no time [Pre-Chorus] For the birds of prey who wreck your nest Twice your size steal your best They set you on this course of your collision [Chorus] I am a stop along your way I am the words you'll never say I crossed the great beyond of fear Opened my eyes and saw us there What a view You went there too [Verse 2] Fly away little bird Find the song in you that no one's heard Strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight Through this short life Everyone's got a deep regret We try to ground ourselves to forget But your race to the end is neck and neck You love them, you love them not [Pre-Chorus] The birds of prey who wreck your nest Twice your size steal your best They set you on this course of your collision [Chorus] I am a stop along your way I am the words you'll never say I crossed the great beyond of fear Opened my eyes and saw us there What a view And you went there too [Bridge] But all along your chosen path are Window panes and sheets of glass That you won't see You fly too fast One day it will be over [Verse 3] Fly away little bird The saddest song I ever heard Was the one that I wrote you in my heart That never made it to the world
