Townes Van Zandt - To Live Is To Fly Lyrics
By townes van zandtWont say I love you, babe,Wont say I need you, babe,But Im gonna get you babeAnd I will not do you wrong.Livings mostly wasting timeAnd Ill waste my share of mineBut it never feels to good,So lets dont take to long.Youre soft as glassAnd Im a gentle man;We got the sky to talk aboutAnd the earth to lie upon.Days, up and down they comeLike rain on a congadrumForget most, remember someBut dont turn none away.Everything is not enoughAnd nothin is to much to bear.Where you been is good and goneAll you keep is the getting there.To live is to flyLow and high,So shake the dust off of your wingsAnd the sleep out of your eyes.Goodbye to all my friendsIts time to go againThink of all the poetryAnd the pickin down the lineIll miss the system hereThe bottoms lowAnd the trebles clearBut it dont pay to think to muchOn things you leave behind.I will be goneBut it wont be longI will be abringin back the melodiesAnd rhythm that I find.We all got holes to fillThem 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 flyLow and high,So shake the dust off of your wingsAnd the sleep out of your eyes;Shake the dust off of your wingsAnd the tears out of your eyes.
