Expecting To Fly - Lyrics by Neil Young


Lyrics

There you stood on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While i laughed, i wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin' that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.

I tried so hard to stand
As i stumbled and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as i fumbled
And reached for the love i found,
Knowin' it was gone.
If i never lived without you,
Now you know i'd die.
If i never said i loved you,
Now you know i'd try,
Babe, now you know i'd try.
Babe, now you know i'd try,
Babe.
