Sweetheart say goodnight the light is just around the corner
Ain’t it good to finally almost be back home
Everyone came by today and we all made pink lemonade maybe later
If your up I’ll bring you some
But closed your eyes can shield the light that blinds you in this final flight
The same sunlight that shines on all you’ve done
So close your eyes and hold you breath and try now for some better rest
Fly away…. baby just fly away
Tell me what makes life so great when all you are is stripped away
Are there reasons we submit to all this pain
Take me down to riverside and tell me there’s a stone I’ll find
If I can bring it back for you to hold onto
Take it to the otherside where only dust is left behind
Reminds us you’re in everything we see
The energy within the stone will guide us safely ever home
Fly away…. baby just fly away
Sweetheart say goodnight the light is just around the corner
Aint it good that we will all soon meet back home…
