INDIGO GIRLS lyrics : "Fly Away"


Fly away little bird
Any place in this open mouthed world

Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest
Everyone's got a need to go
Most of us stick with our row to hoe

But not you, you're the black crow
With a straight line, and no time
For the birds of prey who wreck your nest

Twice your size steal your best
They set you on this course of your collision


I am a stop along your way
I am the words you'll never say
I crossed the great beyond of fear

I opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view
You went there too


Fly away little bird
Find the song in you that no one's heard
Strenghthen your wings as you sing your solo flight

Through this short life
Everyone's got a deep regret
We try to ground ourselves to forget

But your race to the end is neck and neck
You love them, you love them not
The birds of prey who wreck your nest,

Twice your size steal your best
They set you on this course of your collision


I am a stop along your way
I am the words you'll never say
I crossed the great beyond of fear

Opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view
And you went there too


But all along your chosen path are
Window panes and sheets of glass
That you won't see

You fly too fast
One day it will be over


Fly away little bird
The saddest song I ever heard
Was the one I wrote you in my heart

That never made it to the world
