Lyrics

“time to fly”

if mercy’s in business now
i’d like to give her a go
the wind round here
makes it feel like twenty three below
I’m finding it hard to swallow
you harder to find
in this field of crimson and pine

comes a time
to fly
comes a time
leave this raging dream behind
comes a time
your wings will spread the sky
comes a time to fly, a time to fly, a time to fly

salt of the earth returns
as our tears hit the ground
under the oak tree
we laid your body down
the bell tower rings above
it’s a mighty lonesome sound
reminding me
that you won’t be coming round

comes a time
to fly
comes a time
leave this raging dream behind
comes a time
your wings will spread the sky
comes a time to fly, a time to fly, a time to fly

there was an old warrior
who refused to give up the fight
until she looked in saint theresa’s eyes
and said It’s time
to leave this raging dream behind
it’s time
your wings will spread the sky

comes a time to fly, a time to fly, a time to fly
