To Live Is To Fly

Lyrics

I won't say I love you babe
 I won't say I need you, babe
 But I'm gonna 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 is 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, I won't be long
 I'll be bringing back the melody
 And all the rhythms that I find
 We all got holes to fill
 And 'em holes are all that's real
 Some fall on you like a storm
 Sometimes you dig your own
 But the choice is yours to make
 And 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 and the sleep out of your eyes
