Steve Earle - To Live Is To Fly lyrics
Your rating:
Won't say I love you babe Won't say I need you babe But I'm gonna get you babe And I will not do you wrong Living's mostly wasting time And I'll waste my share of mine But it never feels to good So let's don't take to long You're soft as glass I'm 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 conga drum Forget most, remember some But don't turn none away Everything is not enough And nothin' is too much to bear Where you been is good and gone All you keep's getting there Where 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 It's time to go again Think of all the poetry And the pickin' down the line I'll miss the system here The bottom's low and the treble's clear But it don't pay to think too much On things you left behind I will be gone but it won't be long Bringin' back the melodies And the rhythm that I find I got holes to fill Them holes are all that's 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 the sea Some toil upon the stone Where 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 sleep out of your eyes
