Lyrics

FLY AWAY

I can feel eyes on me as I?m walking
high in the branches, that much is clear
a song that is seldom heard
the song of a mockingbird
singing to all who can hear to beware

fly away, I must go, fly away to your home in the sky where you?ll stay
?til the mornings are warm and the sun comes again until then fly away

new mothers hear me hold on to your babies
keep them protected under your wing
leaves are falling Winter?s calling
keep them a season and teach them to sing

fly away?

not that a word of this needs to be said
we will raise up our young on the graves of our dead
and we plant in the Spring where we harvest in Fall
and we never see you though you?re watching us all?

as you take wing and fly higher and higher
over the forest and hillside and bay
tears are forming winds are warming
bringing the rains that will wash us away
