Fly Away

Corrinne May

"When will you be home?" she asks

as we watch the planes take off

We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead

She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled

As a child, she was my world

And now to let me go, I know she bleeds

and yet she says to me



You can fly so high

Keep your gaze upon the sky

I'll be prayin every step along the way

Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart

I love you too much to make you stay

Baby fly away



Autumn leaves fell into spring time and

SIlver-painted hair

Daddy called one evening saying

"We need you. Please come back"

When I saw her laying in her bed

Fragile as a child

Pale just like an angel taking flight

I held her as I cried



You can fly so high

Keep your gaze upon the sky

I'll be prayin every step along the way

Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart

I love you too much to make you stay

Baby fly away

ohh...

I love you too much to make you stay

Baby fly away
