Lyrics

Fly

[Verse 1]

The way that sunlight flits across your skirt

Makes me feel I'm from another world

To touch your face in the morning light

I hope you're always gonna be around

The times I struggle to understand why

The ancient proverbs like who am I?

Why am I here and what have I done?

I see the answer's place my trust in you

[Chorus 1]

Trust in you, love, be with me then

That's when I want you, that's when I need you the most

[Verse 2]

I want us to be like Peter Pan

But dreams it seems are weightless as sand

And man's supposedly is made of sand

It seems that man cannot survive at all

[Chorus 2]

Let's disappear, love, let's fly away

Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone

[Verse 3]

The times inside I spent screaming at you

Release me please from this mortal jail

One shrug or smile can determine my fate

I'm lost for days and have myself to blame

[Outro]

Something I'm giving

Said is yours for the taking

Something like sunlight

Love is a spotlight

Love is all sorrow

Still I'll meet you tomorrow

And look forward to see you

Now I can't live without you
