To Live Is To Fly

Won't say I love you, babe

Won't say I need you, babe

I'm gonna get you babe

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

I'll waste my share of mine

But it never feels too good

So let's don't take too longWell you're soft as glass

And I'm a gentleman

We 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

Don't turn none awayEverything is not enough

And nothin' is too much to bear

Where you've been is good and gone

All you keep's the getting thereWell to live is to fly, all low and high

So shake the dust off of your wings

And the sleep out of your eyesIt's goodbye to all my friends

It's time to go again

But think of all the poetry

And the pickin' down the lineWell I'll miss the system here

The bottom's low and the treble's clear

But it don't pay to think to much

On things you leave behindWell I may be gone

But it won't be long

I will be a bringin' back the melodies

And rhythm that I findWe all got holes to fill

And them holes are all that's real

Some fall on you like a storm

Sometimes you dig your ownThe choice is yours to make

And time is yours to take

Some dive into the sea

Some toil upon the stoneWell to live is to fly, all low and high

So shake the dust off of your wings

And the sleep out of your eyes

Shake the dust off of your wings

And the tears out of your eyes
