To Live Is To Fly

I won't say I love you babe

I won't say I need you babe

But I'm going to get you babe

And I will not do you wrongLiving's mostly a wasting time

And I waste my share of mine

But it never feels too good

So let's not take too longI'm as soft as glass

And you're a gentle man

We've got the sky to talk about

And the world to lie uponDays up and down they come

Like rain on a conga drum

Forget most, remember some

But don't turn none awayEverything is not enough

Nothing is too much to bear

Where you been is good and gone

All you keep's the getting thereTo 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 friendsIt's time to go again, think of all the poetry

And all the pickin' down the line

I'll miss the system here

The bottom's low and the treble's clearBut 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 all the rhythms that I findWe all got holes to fill

And the holes are all that's real

Some fall on you like a storm

Sometimes you dig your ownBut choice is yours to make

And time is yours to take

Some dive into the sea

Some toil upon the stoneTo live is to fly low and high

So shake the dust off of your wings

And the sleep out of your eyes
