To Live Is to Fly

Won't say I love you, babe Won't say I need you, babe I'm going to get you, babe I will not do you wrong Living's mostly wasting time And I waste my share of mine But it never feels too good So let's not take too long You're as soft as glass and I'm a gentle man We got the sky to talk about And the world to lie upon Days up and down they come Like rain on a conga drum Forget most, remember some But don't turn none away Everything is not enough Nothing is too much to bear Where you been is good and gone All you keep's the getting there To live is to fly, low and high So shake the dust off of your wings And the sleep out of your eyes It's goodbye to all my friends It's time to go again Think of all the poetry And the pickin' down the line I'll miss the system here The bottom's low and the treble's clear But it don't pay to think too much Of the things you leave behind I may be gone but I won't be long I'll be bringing back the melody And the rhythm that I find We all got holes to fill Them holes are all that's real Some fall on you like a storm Sometimes you dig your own But choice is yours to make The time is yours to take Some dive into the sea Some toil upon the stone To live is to fly, low and high So shake the dust off of your wings And the tear out of your eyes Shake the dust off of your wings And the sleep out of your eyes
