Fly Away
Lyrics of a song by singapore-born singer named Corrinne May. (www.corrinnemay.com) I love it. gets the occasional mention but otherwise buried in obscurity where the local media is concerned. took me some time to transcribe…
Fly Away
—————
“when will you be home?” she’ll ask
as i watch the planes take off
we both know we have no clear answer
to where my dreams may lead
she’s watched me as i crawled and stumbled
as a child she was my world
and now to let me go i know she bleeds
and yet she says to me,
“you can fly so high,
keep your gaze upon the sky,
i’ll be praying every step along the way
even though it breaks my heart to know
we’ll be so far apart,
i love you too much to make you stay;
baby fly away…”
autumn leaves fell into springtime
and silver-painted hair
daddy called one evening saying,
“i need you please come back.”
when i saw her laying in her bed
fraigile as a child
pale just like an angel taking flight
i held her as i cried;
“you can fly so high,
keep your gaze upon the sky,
i’ll be praying every step along the way
even though it breaks my heart to know
we’ll be so far apart,
i love you too much to make you stay;
baby fly away….
oh….
i love you too much to make you stay;
baby fly away…
fly… fly…”
