To Live Is To Fly Lyrics - Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies

(Townes Van Zandt) 

Columbine Music ASCAP 

Won't say I love you babe 

Won't say I need you babe 

But I'm going to get you babe 

and I will not do you wrong 

Living's mostly wasting time 

and I waste my share of mine 

but it never feels too good 

so let's not take too long 

I'm as soft as glass and You're a gentle man 

we got the sky to talk about 

and the world to lie upon

Days up and down they come 

like rain on a conga drum 

forget most, remember some 

but don't turn none away 

Everything is not enough 

nothing is too much to bear 

where you been is good and gone 

all you keep's the getting there 

To live is to fly low and high 

so shake the dust off of your wings 

and the sleep out of your eyes 

Photos 

It's goodbye to all my friends 

It's time to go again 

Think of all the poetry 

and the pickin' down the line 

I'll miss the system here 

the bottom's low and the treble's clear 

but it don't pay to think too much 

on the things you leave behind 

I may be gone but I won't be long 

I'll be bringing back the melody 

and the rhythm that I find 

We all got holes to fill 

and them holes are all that's real 

some fall on you like a storm 

sometimes you dig your own 

But choice is yours to make 

time is yours to take 

some dive into the sea 

some toil upon the stone 

To live is to fly low and high 

so shake the dust off of your wings 

the sleep out of your eyes
