Townes Van Zandt - To Live is to Fly lyrics
Won't say I love you, babe
 Won't say I need you, babe
 I'm gonna get you babe
 And I will not do you wrong
 Living's mostly wasting time
 I'll waste my share of mine
 But it never feels too good
 So let's don't take too long
 Well you're soft as glass
 And I'm a gentleman
 We got the sky to talk about
 And the world to lie upon
 Days up and down they come
 Like rain on a conga drum
 Forget most, remember some
 Don't turn none away
 Everything is not enough
 And nothin' is too much to bear
 Where you've been is good and gone
 All you keep's the getting there
 Well to live is to fly, all low and high
 So shake the dust off of your wings
 And the sleep out of your eyes
 It's goodbye to all my friendsTownes Van Zandt - To Live is to Fly - http://motolyrics.com/townes-van-zandt/to-live-is-to-fly-lyrics.html
 It's time to go again
 But think of all the poetry
 And the pickin' down the line
 Well I'll miss the system here
 The bottom's low and the treble's clear
 But it don't pay to think to much
 On things you leave behind
 Well I may be gone
 But it won't be long
 I will be a bringin' back the melodies
 And rhythm that I find
 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
 And time is yours to take
 Some dive into the sea
 Some toil upon the stone
 Well to live is to fly, all 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
