Somewhere I Used to Fly - Striving Vines

Why can’t I fly fly like I flew

When I was a child

Why can’t I sleep sleep like I slept

Sleeping in my mother’s bed

Now it seems so clear

some things will never reappear

The world was black and white

now all the grey is tearing me apart

They build castles in the sand by the ocean

They don’t care that the tide will destroy them

Leave them playing just for a while

Leave them playing in the light

Try can’t I try to forget the times

I lay in my bed and cried

Don’t let them get

the most precious dreams you possess

They build castles in the sand by the ocean

They don’t care that the tide will destroy them

They belong where the stars never die

Somewhere I used to fly

Take my hand let’s go

into the sunlight and never grow old

Snakes and apples will always be close

but don’t let go

They build castles in the sand by the ocean

They don’t care that the tide will destroy them

They belong where the stars never die

Somewhere

Somewhere

Somewhere I used to fly
