Cowboy Junkies Lyrics
"To Live Is To Fly"

Won't say I love you babe, I won't say I need you babe
But I'm going to get you babe and I will not do you wrong
Livings mostly wasting time and I waste my share of mine
but it never feels too good so lets not take too long

Your soft as glass and I'm a gentle man
we got the sky to talk about and the world to lie upon
days up and down they come like rain on a conga drum
forget most remember some but don't turn some away
Everything is not enough nothing is too much to bear
where you been is good and gone all you keeps 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

it's goodbye to all my friends its time to go again
think of all the poetry and the pickin down the line
I'll miss the system here the bottoms low and the trebles clear
but it don't pay to think too much on the things you leave behind

I may be gone but it won't be long
I'll be bringing back the melody and the rhythm that I find

we all got holes to fill and them holes are all that's real
some fall on you like a storm sometimes you dig your own
but choice is yours to make time is yours to take
some dive into the sea some toil upon the stone

To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes
