Lyrics
Time to Fly Away
I just wrote a letter,
Painted words across this frozen sky,
Vaporized and written on the weather.
And measured out in miles.
Heading south tomorrow,
Came in yesterday.
Finally found a brighter star to follow,
Now they say it's time to fly away.
Time to fly away.
Now I've found a true love.
Better than the world I left behind,
In the rain and rising up above it.
See the clear light shine.
Riding on the ocean,
On these shining metal wings I sail.
Living for the motion.
Now they say it's time to fly away.
Time to fly away.
BRIDGE:
And now I'm looking down upon your face,
From among this sea of diamond lights.
Here there's room for contemplating time and space.
What a night to climb up high and pray!
Welcome to the rising of the day.
Meanwhile over Memphis,
Vocalizing music in your mind.
Then it?s time to come back to your senses,
Miami's on the line.
Heading south tomorrow,
Takin? out some businessmen and freight
Ready for that R-O-N at Rio,
Now they say it's time to fly away.
Time to fly away.
Time to fly away.
