Expecting to Fly

There you stood

on the edge of your feather

Expecting to fly.

While I laughed

I wondered whether

I should wave goodbye

Knowing that you'd gone.

By the summer it was healing

We had said goodbye.

All the years

we'd spent with feeling

Ended with a cry

Babe ended with a cry


I tried so hard to stand

As I stumbled

and fell to the ground.

So hard to laugh as I fumbled

And reached for the love I found

Knowing it was gone.

If I never lived without you

Now you know I'd die.

If I never said I loved you

Now you know I'd try

Babe now you know I'd try.

Babe now you know I'd try

Babe.
