Expecting to Fly

[Verse 1]

There you stood on the edge of your feather

Expecting to fly

While I laughed, I wondered whether

I could wave goodbye

[Refrain]

Knowing that you'd gone?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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'd found

[Refrain]

Knowing it was gone

[Chorus]

If I ever lived without you

Now you know I died

If I ever said I loved you

Now you know I tried

Babe, now you know I tried

Babe, now you know I tried

[Outro]

Babe
