Won't say I love you babe
Won't say I need you babe
But I'm going to 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
You're as soft as glass and I'm 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's 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 but I won't be long

I'll be bringing back the melody
And the 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
But choice is yours to make
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
The sleep out of your eyes
