Fly Away

[Verse 1]
Fly away little bird
Any place in this open mouthed world
Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you
But you won't rest
Everyone's got a need to go
Most of us stick with our row to hoe
But not you, you're the black crow
With a straight line, and no time

[Pre-Chorus]
For the birds of prey who wreck your nest
Twice your size steal your best
They set you on this course of your collision

[Chorus]
I am a stop along your way
I am the words you'll never say
I crossed the great beyond of fear
Opened my eyes and saw us there
What a view
You went there too

[Verse 2]
Fly away little bird
Find the song in you that no one's heard
Strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight
Through this short life
Everyone's got a deep regret
We try to ground ourselves to forget
But your race to the end is neck and neck
You love them, you love them not

[Pre-Chorus]
The birds of prey who wreck your nest
Twice your size steal your best
They set you on this course of your collision

[Chorus]
I am a stop along your way
I am the words you'll never say
I crossed the great beyond of fear
Opened my eyes and saw us there
What a view
And you went there too

[Bridge]
But all along your chosen path are
Window panes and sheets of glass
That you won't see
You fly too fast
One day it will be over

[Verse 3]
Fly away little bird
The saddest song I ever heard
Was the one that I wrote you in my heart
That never made it to the world
