Fly Away Lyrics

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, for the
birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best, they
sent you on this course of your collision
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
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
the birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best
they sent you on this course of your collision
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
And 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
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
