“If I Could Fly”
Stone by the river
got no wind in my sail
No revolutions in my soul
Hey, revelation’s just
a moment away
Soon I’m gonna be old
soon you’re gonna be old
Remember love is not
something you can keep
It just takes the wind
to blow it away
You look so ugly
as you lie there asleep
Boy you’re pretty today
so pretty today
When I was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but I’m not that kind
They said I was meek but I did not mind
It’s a case of the weak chasing the blind
I see the stars have spelt
your name in the sky
I wrote it too down
here in the sand
When I first met you
you stirred nothing at all
See the cards in your hand
see the cards in your hand
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I’d take to the sky
I feel so special when
I’m making you cry
I regret the things
I throw in your face
This drug will kill you darling
this is no lie
This dragon we chase
this dragon we chase
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I’d take to the sky
got no wind in my sail
No revolutions in my soul
Hey, revelation’s just
a moment away
Soon I’m gonna be old
soon you’re gonna be old
Remember love is not
something you can keep
It just takes the wind
to blow it away
You look so ugly
as you lie there asleep
Boy you’re pretty today
so pretty today
When I was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but I’m not that kind
They said I was meek but I did not mind
It’s a case of the weak chasing the blind
I see the stars have spelt
your name in the sky
I wrote it too down
here in the sand
When I first met you
you stirred nothing at all
See the cards in your hand
see the cards in your hand
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I’d take to the sky
I feel so special when
I’m making you cry
I regret the things
I throw in your face
This drug will kill you darling
this is no lie
This dragon we chase
this dragon we chase
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I’d take to the sky
