Song title: Townes Van Zandt - To Live Is To Fly

Edit By: 216.73.216.65

By townes van zandt

Wont say I love you, babe,
Wont say I need you, babe,
But Im gonna get you babe
And I will not do you wrong.
Livings mostly wasting time
And Ill waste my share of mine
But it never feels to good,
So lets dont take to long.
Youre soft as glass
And Im a gentle man;
We got the sky to talk about
And the earth to lie upon.

Days, up and down they come
Like rain on a congadrum
Forget most, remember some
But dont turn none away.
Everything is not enough
And nothin is to much to bear.
Where you been is good and gone
All you keep is 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.

Goodbye to all my friends
Its time to go again
Think of all the poetry
And the pickin down the line
Ill miss the system here
The bottoms low
And the trebles clear
But it dont pay to think to much
On things you leave behind.
I will be gone
But it wont be long
I will be abringin back the melodies
And rhythm that I find.

We all got holes to fill
Them holes are all thats real.
Some fall on you like a storm,
Sometimes you dig your own.
The choice is yours to make,
Time is yours to take;
Some sail upon/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 sleep out of your eyes;

Shake the dust off of your wings
And the tears out of your eyes.
