Too High To Fly Lyrics - Dokken

(dokken, lynch) 

We sold our sons and we sold our daughters 

Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers 

We took the gold, but the gold was water 

I tried to save the world, but I failed her 

She cries the tears that I never left her 

I left them all behind 

You were sitting in your darkest hour 

Summer's gone 

We tried to make the world so much better 

We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter 

You sit alone in your ivory towers 

I'm just one person, I don't matter

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You tap the needle, and you went to heaven 

You left it all behind 

Now you're feeling oh so better 

Chorus 

Too high to fly 

You should've seen me there (yeah) 

Too high to fly, my baby 

But you were almost there 

The sun shines down on my face 

But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no) 

The lines on the street, and the some rises 

You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby 

Another morning sun 

Another day gone by 

The storm's coming 

With the pouring rain

Chorus 2 

The storm comes with the pouring rain (salvation) 

The lines in the street, and the smoke rises 

Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it
