to live is to fly (alternate version) - townes van zandt lyrics
[verse 1]
won’t say i love you, babe
i 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 waste my share of mine
but it never feels too good
so let’s don’t take too long
you’re soft as glass
and i’m a gentle man
we got the sky to talk about
and the world to lie upon
[verse 2]
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 the getting there
well, to live’s to fly
low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes
[verse 3]
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, the treble’s clear
but it don’t pay to think too much
on things you leave behind
well i may be gone
but it won’t be long
i’ll be a*bringin’ back the melody
and rhythm that i find
[verse 4]
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
the choice is yours to make
time is yours to take
ah some dive into the sea
some toil upon the stone
well, to live’s 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 tears out of your eyes
