I wish that you were here
Running round my heels
Only you and I know
How this lonely feels
I never fell in love
The way that I love you
But father, brother, sons
Too much for any man to do
So you fly and you fly, fly away
So you fly and you fly, fly away
I'd keep you with me still
Even though I know
Nothing's worth the holding
If you can't let go
I spend my nights alone
Or in drunken company
That's the only medicine
That's left for me
Till I fly, till I fly, fly away
Till I fly, till I fly, fly away
I need to have something
That money cannot buy
But even children know
That only angels fly
All these wasted years
I never have been sure
When to ask for less
And when to beg for more
Will I fly, will I fly, fly away?
Will I fly, will I fly, fly away?
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
