Verse
Fly Away
Jeremy Hurtt•
she said goodbye, my love
Verse 1
Put the roses in the vaseFewer coming in these daysFewer of so many thingsBut that's just how it playsPulled her Grafton from the bagTook the lid off of the cupShe'd long ago stopped prayingThat his eyes would open up
Chorus
She said goodbye, my loveGo on, and take to the sky my loveI know you feel light as a doveSo take off, and fly awayShe said don't you worry, my dearI know you must hurry, my dearMove forward 'fore the flurry hereSee the mountaintop todayFly awayFly away
Verse 2
Been 36 and changeSince she'd struggled into that dressYounger and more inclinedTo miss the magic for the messTwo daughters and a strangerHad made it through her homeWhich stood just as its makerEmpty, abandoned and alone
Chorus
She said goodbye, my loveGo on, and take to the sky my loveI know you feel light as a doveSo take off, and fly awayShe said don't you worry, my dearI know you must hurry, my dearMove forward 'fore the flurry hereSee the mountaintop todayFly awayFly away
Verse 3
Put the roses in the vaseBeen flooded by them these daysGave the church another lightIn this heaviest of graysThe preacher said all the wordsHard to say how many in vainShe was staring out the windowAt the blue the climbers claimed
Chorus
She said goodbye, my loveSee you someday in the sky, my loveI'll be your sparrow, you can be my doveWe'll take off, and fly away She said don't get blurry, my dearI've a few favors still to curry, my dearFew more nights to scrawl and scurry here We'll crest mountaintops one dayWe'll fly awayFly away
