Flying Song

Nod when you’re ready and I will let go
I have never felt this alive before
Remember to bend your knees before we land
and whatever you do, don’t let go of my hand
cause if I go flying, it will be with you
or I will never go flying… I will stay down
I will stay down
Before I was yours, I belonged to the earth
but up in the ether, I can see all its worth
and all things either good or bad or nothing at all
and our house down below… what a wild way to fall!
and if I go flying, it will be with you
or I will never go flying… I will stay down
I will stay down
and with our paper wings folded up in our van
it was up here I found out who I am
but if you should forsake me, then I will stay here
Bound by the earth, and bound by my tears
and if I go flying, it will be with you
or I will never go flying… I will stay down
darlin and if I go flying, it will be with you
or I will never go flying… I will stay down
I will stay down
