Janis Ian - Take To The Sky - Текст песни

Blue sky morning, red sky night


Sailor take warning


when the eagle takes flight


If I had wings I would delight


and fly away


Black cloud riding


on the cotton fields back home


Every man's an island


in the desert of his soul


take to the sky


- there's nowhere else to go -


and fly away


I can rememer all the days of my life


cold, dark september


when the eagle took flight


I had to stay,


I had to stay


I cried a river to the empty sky


someone deliver me by and by


I'll fly away, Il'll fly away


It don't take nothing to be lonely


It comes too easy to be holy


It does nothing for the soul


but tear holes in tomorrow


Somebody somebody said I don't want


to be nobody saidI don't want to see


nobody said I don't want to need nobody said nothing at all


Sitting and waiting for the axe to fall


Sun come raining, lighten up the day


I ain't complaining


I got nothing to say


I'll fly away, I'll fly away


If I had the courage to be flying blind


I'd fly too high to buy my way home


somebody wants somebody


to be lonely and nobody


settling only for love-


how much time can you borrow?


Making it easy to lie


Faking it on the sly


Shaking and stammering


taking it up to the sky


Hammering nails in tomorrow


Sun come raining lighten up the sky


I ain't complaining


I get no reply


I'll fly away, I'll fly away


When I get the courage to be flying blind 


I'll fly to high to buy my way home
