Steve Earle - To Live Is To Fly lyrics

rate me

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
