I'm Flying(I'm Dying)

Lyrics

 

 

Nothing can be

the way it used to be

So put on your shoes

and we'll go walking

It's the only thing

that stays the same

Though the sky may darken

and the roads might change

Where once was dirt, babe

now it's paved

Cause no matter what,

We can't be the same

No, how hard we may try,

We always change

And who's to say, babe

who's to say

That this can't be

A damned good thing

 

You gave me a kiss,

Yeah but you waited

Yeah told me when

 it's dark outside, I'll run 

We'll hide, and I'll kiss you

Yeah When it's dark outside

When everyone is asleep,

Oh no prying eyes

When there's wind

in the trees and

The moon is so high

 

Hey I'll kiss you when It's dark outside

 

And so I ran, Oh I ran

so far

And I came around the bend

With a flying heart

With Rubber arms

Yeah I smiled, at the gate,

and didn't glance at the stars

Cause here you are,

Yeah there you are

and for once in my life

I didn't need the stars

"When everyone is asleep, oh no prying eyes
When there's wind in the trees and the moon is so high
Hey I'll kiss you when It's dark outside"
I like the title. I haven't been flying in long time. Been nailed down and lock in. I would like to follow the sun west and not look back sometime. A excellent poem. The many strong statements made me wish for a escape.
