Fly Away

Sitting here exchanging words Lost like hungry - wingless birds Hungry - lost like a homeless child Running free and running wild No matter which words we use We know we both will lose This is a war no one can win we both turn the other chin we both try another view Try to find something new But whatever we do or say You know I can never stay So I’ll fly away - fly way I leave at night to find the day Fly away fly away You never thought I would stay anyway I always wanted to be the one that fought the war and always won When I am gone there is no war Nothing to fight for any more I hate the day so I’ll leave at night To make my shadows shine on bright You never saw the winds of change Never heard our words grow strange You never felt there was a war or anything worth fighting for So wherever you will go from here You will know that I’m not there

"You never saw the winds of change Never heard our words grow strange" WoW! What indepth surmising within these two sentences, Steinar. Oh, I like many of us I am guessing, have been in that situation. Like you, I was the one to leave. Well, except for that one time. Still, when this particular event happened she took a beautiful daughter and a son in the oven. I never saw her again, but through the telephone and the Internet I have my children back . . . sorta.
