They Always Fly Away

Do you want to follow me indoors
 If the elevator be 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
