Indigo Girls fly away live

Select language to translate this lyric

Fly away, little bird
Any place in this open mouthed world
Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you
But you won't rest
Everyone's got a need to go
Most of us stick with our road of hope
But not you, you're the black crow
With a straight line and no time
For the birds of prey who wreck your nest
Twice your size, steal your best
They set you on this path of your collision
I am a stop along your way
I am the words you'll never say
I crossed the great beyond of fear
Opened my eyes and I saw us there
What a view and you went there too
Fly away little bird
Find the song in you that no one's heard
Strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight
Through this short life
Everyone's got a deep regret
We try to ground ourselves to forget
But your race to the end is neck and neck
You love them, you love them not
The birds of prey who wreck your nest
Twice your size, steal your best
They set you on this course of your collision
I am a stop along your way
I am the words you'll never say
I crossed the great beyond of fear
Opened my eyes and I saw us there
What a view and you went there too
But all along your chosen path
Window panes and sheets of glass
But you won't see, you fly too fast
One day it will be over
Fly away little bird
The saddest song I ever heard
Was the one that I wrote you in my heart
But never made it to the world
