Blue sky morning, red sky night   Sailor take warning when the eagle takes flight   If I had wings I would delight and fly away   Black cloud riding on the cotton fields back home   Every man's an island in the desert of his soul   Take to the sky, there's nowhere else to go   And fly away      I can remember all the days of my life   Cold, dark September   When the eagle took flight   I had to stay, I had to stay   I cried a river to the empty sky   Someone deliver me by and by   I'll fly away, l?ll fly away      It don't take nothing to be lonely   It comes too easy to be holy   It does nothing for the soul   But tear holes in tomorrow      Somebody, somebody said I don't want to be   Nobody said I don't want to see   Nobody said I don't want to need   Nobody said nothing at all   Sitting and waiting for the axe to fall      Sun come raining, lighten up the day   I ain't complaining I got nothing to say   I'll fly away, I'll fly away   If I had the courage to be flying blind   I'd fly too high to buy my way home      Somebody wants somebody to be lonely   And nobody settling only for love   How much time can you borrow?   Making it easy to lie, faking it on the sly   Shaking and stammering   Taking it up to the sky   Hammering nails in tomorrow      Sun come raining lighten up the sky   I ain't complaining, I get no reply   I'll fly away, I'll fly away   When I get the courage to be flying blind   I'll fly to high to buy my way home
