Won’t say I love you babe
Won’t say I need you babe
But I’m going to 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 not take too long
I’m as soft as glass and you’re a gentle man
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
but don’t turn none away
Everything is not enough
nothing is too much to bear
where you been is good and gone
all you keep’s the getting there

To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes

It’s 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 the things you leave behind
I may be gone but I won’t be long
I’ll be bringing back the melody
and all the rhythms 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
But choice is yours to make
time is yours to take
some dive into the sea
some toil upon the stone

To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes
