To Live Is to Fly

Forget most, remember some
I'll waste my share of mine

So shake the dust off of your wings
Well to live is to fly, all low and high
It's time to go again
Well you're soft as glass

Some dive into the sea
And I'm a gentleman

But it won't be long
Some toil upon the stone
I will be a bringin' back the melodies
Don't turn none away

All you keep's the getting there
And the pickin' down the line
We all got holes to fill
And time is yours to take
Well I'll miss the system here
Some fall on you like a storm

And nothin' is too much to bear
And the world to lie upon
But think of all the poetry
It's goodbye to all my friends
We got the sky to talk about

Well to live is to fly, all low and high
On things you leave behind
But it don't pay to think to much
And rhythm that I find
The bottom's low and the treble's clear
So shake the dust off of your wings
Where you've been is good and gone
I'm gonna get you babe
Days up and down they come

But it never feels too good
Like rain on a conga drum
And I will not do you wrong

And them holes are all that's real
And the sleep out of your eyes

Living's mostly wasting time
The choice is yours to make
Everything is not enough
Shake the dust off of your wings

And the sleep out of your eyes
Sometimes you dig your own
Well I may be gone
So let's don't take too long
