"fly away home"



It's winter in my city of the valleys

The green and grey stretch out behind

The cold air blows in through my window

And steals the words right from my mind

Last night I dreamt I saw the ocean

Imprisoned in my castle tower

And the thousand miles that lay between us

Just drifted away with the hour



And if I were a bird I'd fly away home

And this is what I want to do

And if I were a bird I'd fly away home

Fly away home to you



Parting is such sickly sorrow

I found that out the time before

I love my city and the land that I was born in

But sometimes I think I love you more

One day I'll make the great migration

Leave this land I love behind

And follow dreams and memory

Into the western sky



And if I were a bird I'd fly away home

And this is what I want to do

And if I were a bird I'd fly away home

Fly away home to you



And if I were a bird I'd fly away home

And this is what it's coming to

And if I were a bird I'd fly away home

Fly away home to you

I'd fly away home, fly away home to you
