Guy Clark - To Live Is To Fly Lyrics
Won't say I love you babeWon't say I need you babeBut, I'm gonna get you babeAnd I will not do you wrongLivin's mostly wastin' timeI waste my share of mineBut it never feels too goodSo let's don't take too longYou're soft as glassAnd 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 awayEverything is not enoughNothin' is to much to bearWhere you been is good and goneAll you keep is the gettin' thereTo live is to flyLow and highSo shake the dust off of your wingsAnd the sleep out of your eyesIt's goodbye to all my friendsIt's time to go againThink on all the poetryAnd the pickin' down the lineI'll miss the system hereThe bottom's low and the treble's clearBut it don't pay to think to muchOn things you leave behindI may be goneBut it won't be longI will be a-bringin' back the melodyAnd the rhythm that I findWe all got holes to fillThem holes are all that's realSome fall on you like a stormSometimes you dig your ownBut choice is yours to makeAnd time is yours to takeSome dive into the seaSome toil upon the stoneTo live is to flyLow and high,So shake the dust off of your wingsAnd the sleep out of your eyesSo shake the dust off of your wingsAnd the tears out of your eyes
