Dokken - Too High To Fly lyrics

rate me

(Dokken, Lynch)

We sold our sons and we sold our daughters

Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers

We took the gold, but the gold was water

I tried to save the world, but I failed her

She cries the tears that I never left her

I left them all behind

You were sitting in your darkest hour

Summer's gone

We tried to make the world so much better

We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter

You sit alone in your ivory towers

I'm just one person, I don't matter

You tap the needle, and you went to heaven

You left it all behind

Now you're feeling oh so better

Chorus

Too high to fly

You should've seen me there (Yeah)

Too high to fly, my baby

But you were almost there

The sun shines down on my face

But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no)

The lines on the street, and the some rises

You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby

Another morning sun

Another day gone by

The storm's coming

With the pouring rain

Chorus 2

The storm comes with the pouring rain (Salvation)

The lines in the street, and the smoke rises

Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it

Chorus 3
