Riding out on hayfields
Dust was rising
The air was clear

Pick up truck on a flat horizon
Something's blown away


Searching for my story
Up the road and back in time
Something there my uncle showed me

Left there in the ground
Took me back but I can't see
Where the farmhouse used to be

Where it's gone I do not know
Something's blown away


Chorus
And He said
Goodbye

Fly fly away from here
Fare thee well
To Walking in these dreams

Goodbye
To All the things he left behind
I'm sorry for my leaving

I wanted you know
I'm sorry for my leaving
But he wanted me to go


Making pictures in my mind
What he might have left behind

Colors that he painted there
Are moving through my life
Heavy sledge, icy road

Horse and cutter deep in snow
But where the farm house use to be
Foundations rest on memories...


Chorus
Goodbye

Fly fly away from here
Fare thee well
To Walking in these dreams

Goodbye
To all the things he left behind
I'm sorry for my leaving

I wanted you know
I'm sorry for my leaving
But he wanted me to go


Well the sheds are gone
Plows are rust

Thrashings through
The crops are dust
Where a swing hung from a tree

Weeds and holes and the cows run free....

Chorus

Goodbye
Fly fly away from here
Fare thee well to

Walking in these dreams
Goodbye
Fly fly away from here

Fare thee well to
To walking in these dreams
Goodbye

To all the things he left behind
I'm Sorry for leaving
I wanted you know

I'm sorry for my leaving
But he wanted me to go
I'm sorry for my leaving

But he wanted me to go

And he said fly fly away

And he said fly fly away
And he said fly fly away
