Fly Farther

Jars Of Clay

He picked her up some flowers on a Sunday afternoon

Set out on the porch swing underneath the crescent moon

A lifetime seemed to pass staring at the skies

And on the swing he gave her the ring

There were tears in her eyes

He said I pray I'm not alone in my dreams about forever

That you and I could become one and always be together

We'd grow old and wise through all the days

For worse or for better

And I'll be true beside you

Now more than ever

My time flies but we'll fly farther

Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother

All the dreams of together

Uneclipsed by never never

My time flies

I see it in your eyes

But we'll fly farther



Fifty years have ridden off into the sunset

The tears that we have cried have overflown

And here we are counting scars

Wounds of life's unending upsets

You with me, and I with you, and I will never forget



My time flies but we'll fly farther

Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother

All the dreams of together

Uneclipsed by never never

My time flies

I see it in your eyes

But we'll fly farther



He picked her up some flowers on a Sunday afternoon

Road the greyhound bus past the house they used to swoon

He knelt beside the grave hung his head a teardrop fell

On the stone the epitaph shown the words he knew so well...



My time flies but we'll fly farther

Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother

All the dreams of together

Uneclipsed by never never

My time flies

I see it in your eyes

But we'll fly farther
