But no man flies from this place, fly
But no man flies from this place, fly on
By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man
The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh, so far
If I could only, could only fly
Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love
Hey! The lucky locket hangs around your precious neck
I'd drift with them in endless space
That sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land
If I could only, could only fly
At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars
Make me wish that I had wings take me high above
And I looked high and saw the empty sky
Some luck I ever got with you and I, I wouldn't like to bet
But no man flies from this place
And I looked high and saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above
Now I've got myself in this room for years
But no man ever flies from this place, yeah
If I could only, I could only fly
Yeah! And I looked high and saw the empty sky
I'd drift with them in endless space
And I looked high and saw the empty sky
Just send up my love, ain't seen nothing but tears
I'd drift with them in endless space
I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love
