Guy Clark - To Live's To Fly lyrics

Won't say I love you babe? Won't say I need you babe? But I'm gonna get you babe and I will not do you wrong Livin's mostly wastin' time and I waste my share of mine But it never feels too good, so let's don't take too long Well, you're soft as gla** and I'm 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, oh but don't turn none away Everything is not enough and nothin' is too much to bear Where you been is good and gone, all you keep is the gettin' there Well, to live's to fly all low and high So shake the dust off of your wings and the sleep out of your eye It's goodbye to all my friends, it's time to leave again Here's to all the poetry and the pickin' down the line I'll miss the system here, the bottom's low and the treble's clear It don't pay to think too much on things you leave behind Well, I may be gone, oh I won't be long I will be bringin' back the melody and the rhythm 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 and time is yours to take Some dive into the sea, some toil upon the stone Well, to live's to fly all low and high So shake the dust off of your wings and the sleep out of your eyes Oh, shake the dust off of your wings and the tears out of your eye
