To Live Is To Fly - Lyrics by Cowboy Junkies


Lyrics
Won't say I love you babe
Won't say I need you babe
But I'm going to get you babeand I will not do you wrong
Living's mostly wasting timeand I waste my share of minebut it never feels too goodso let's not take too long
You're as soft as glass and I'm a gentle manwe got the sky to talk aboutand the world to lie upon
Days up and down they comelike rain on a conga drumforget most, remember somebut don't turn none away
Everything is not enoughnothing is too much to bearwhere you been is good and goneall you keep's the getting there
To live is to fly low and highso shake the dust off of your wingsand the sleep out of your eyes
It's goodbye to all my friends
It's time to go again
Think of all the poetryand the pickin' down the line
I'll miss the system herethe bottom's low and the treble's clearbut it don't pay to think too muchon the things you leave behind
I may be gone but I won't be long
I'll be bringing back the melodyand the rhythm that I find
We all got holes to filland them holes are all that's realsome fall on you like a stormsometimes you dig your own
But choice is yours to maketime is yours to takesome dive into the seasome toil upon the stone
To live is to fly low and highso shake the dust off of your wingsthe sleep out of your eyes
