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
