Why try, I know why   This feeling inside me says it's time I was gone   Clear head, new life ahead   It's time I was king now not just one more pawn      Fly by night, away from here   Change my life again   Fly by night goodbye my dear   My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend      Moon rise, thoughtful eyes   Staring back at me from the window beside   No fright, or hindsight   Leaving behind that empty feeling inside      Fly by night, away from here   Change my life again   Fly by night goodbye my dear   My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend      Fly by night, away from here   Change my life again   Fly by night goodbye my dear   My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend      Start a new chapter   I find what I'm after   Is changing every day   The change of a season   Is enough of a reason   To want to get away      Quiet and pensive   My thoughts apprehensive   The hours drift away   Leaving my homeland   Playing a lone hand   My life begins today      Fly by night, away from here   Change my life again   Fly by night goodbye my dear   My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend   My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend      Fly by night, away from here   Change my life again   Fly by night goodbye my dear   My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend   My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend   My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
