RUSH - Fly By Night lyrics

rate me

Words and music by geddy lee and neil peart<br><br>(original first stanza)<br>Airport scurry flurry faces<br>Parade of passers by<br>People going many places<br>With a smile or just a sigh<br>Waiting waiting pass the time<br>Another cigarette<br>Get in line - gate thirty-nine<br>The time is not here yet (end)<br><br>Why try? I know why<br>The feeling inside me says it's time I was gone<br>Clear head, new life ahead<br>I want to be king now not just one more pawn<br><br>Fly by night, away from here<br>Change my life again<br>Fly by night goodbye my dear<br>My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend<br><br>Moon rise, thoughtful eyes<br>Staring back at me from the window beside<br>No fright or hindsight<br>Leaving behind that empty feeling inside<br><br>Start a new chapter<br>Find what I'm after<br>It's changing every day<br>The change of a season<br>Is enough of a reason<br>To want to get away<br><br>Quiet and pensive<br>My thoughts apprehensive<br>The hours drift away<br>Leaving my homeland<br>Playing a lone hand<br>My life begins today
