Fly Away - Ron Pope

I’ve been living in the desert

Been counting all the stars

Been riding where the wind blows

Been cursing in the dark

I am shouldering a burden

One that bends me 'til I break

When I’m drowning in the ocean

I wish that I could fly away

I woke up somewhere in Texas

On the road to someplace else

Then I stared off at a mountain

Feeling sorry for myself

And I wonder how you’re sleeping

In our bed on this cold day

I’m so tired of being lonely

I wish that I could fly away

Once I wandered near the river

On a crystal afternoon

And I thought about the future

Yeah I thought about the truth

I know I can’t live forever

But you make me wanna stay

So I’ll do my best to hold you

Then one day we’ll both fly away
