Fly Away - Corrinne May

When will you be home?"she asks

As we watch the planes take off

We both know we have no clear answer

To where my dreams may lead

She’s watched me as I crawled and stumbled

As a child, she was my world

And now to let me go, I know she bleeds

And yet she says to me You can fly so high

Keep your gaze upon the sky

I’ll be praying every step along the way

Even though it breaks my heart to know we’ll be so far apart

I love you too much to make you stay

Baby fly away

Autumn leaves fell into spring time and

Silver-painted hair

Daddy called one evening saying

«We need you.

Please come back»

When I saw her laying in her bed

Fragile as a child

Pale just like an angel taking flight

I held her as I cried

You can fly so high

Keep your gaze upon the sky

I’ll be praying every step along the way

Even though it breaks my heart to know we’ll be so far apart

I love you too much to make you stay

Baby fly away
