Expecting To Fly Lyrics by Neil Young
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly
While I laughed I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye

Knowin' that you'd gone
By the summer it was healing
We had said "Goodbye"
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry

Babe, ended with a cry
Babe, ended with a cry

I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found

Knowin' it was gone
If I never lived without you
Now you know I'd die
If I never said "I loved you"
Now you know I'd try

Babe, now you know I'd try
Babe, now you know I'd try, babe
There you stood on the edge of your feather   Expecting to fly   While I laughed I wondered whether   I could wave goodbye      Knowin' that you'd gone   By the summer it was healing   We had said "Goodbye"   All the years we'd spent with feeling   Ended with a cry      Babe, ended with a cry   Babe, ended with a cry      I tried so hard to stand   As I stumbled and fell to the ground   So hard to laugh as I fumbled   And reached for the love I found      Knowin' it was gone   If I never lived without you   Now you know I'd die   If I never said "I loved you"   Now you know I'd try      Babe, now you know I'd try   Babe, now you know I'd try, babe
