Janis Ian - Take To The Sky Lyrics
Blue sky morning, red sky nightSailor take warningwhen the eagle takes flightIf I had wings I would delightand fly awayBlack cloud ridingon the cotton fields back homeEvery man's an islandin the desert of his soultake to the sky- there's nowhere else to go -and fly awayI can rememer all the days of my lifecold, dark septemberwhen the eagle took flightI had to stay,I had to stayI cried a river to the empty skysomeone deliver me by and byI'll fly away, Il'll fly awayIt don't take nothing to be lonelyIt comes too easy to be holyIt does nothing for the soulbut tear holes in tomorrowSomebody somebody said I don't wantto be nobody saidI don't want to seenobody said I don't want to need nobody said nothing at allSitting and waiting for the axe to fallSun come raining, lighten up the dayI ain't complainingI got nothing to sayI'll fly away, I'll fly awayIf I had the courage to be flying blindI'd fly too high to buy my way homesomebody wants somebodyto be lonely and nobodysettling only for love-how much time can you borrow?Making it easy to lieFaking it on the slyShaking and stammeringtaking it up to the skyHammering nails in tomorrowSun come raining lighten up the skyI ain't complainingI get no replyI'll fly away, I'll fly awayWhen I get the courage to be flying blindI'll fly to high to buy my way home
