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 wrong

Living's mostly wasting time

And I'll waste my share of mine

But it never feels too good

So let's don't take too long

Well you're soft as glass

And I'm a gentle man

And 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

And nothin' is too much to bear

Where you been is good and gone

All you keep's the getting there

Well, to live is to fly

All 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

Well 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 things you leave behind

Well I may be gone

But it won't be long

I'll be a-bringin' back the melody

And rhythm that I find

We all got holes to fill

And them holes are all that's real

Some fall on you like a storm

Sometimes you dig your own

The choice is yours to make

And time is yours to take

Some dive into the sea

Some toil upon the stone

Well, to live's to fly

All low and high

So shake the dust off of your wings

And sleep out of your eyes

Oh shake the dust off of your wings

And tears out of your eyes
