Fly Away Lyrics - Despite Our Differences - Indigo Girls

Fly away little bird 

Any place in this open mouthed world 

Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest 

Everyone's got a need to go 

Most of us stick with our row to hoe 

But not you, you're the black crow 

With a straight line, and no time 

For the birds of prey who wreck your nest 

Twice your size steal your best 

They set you on this course of your collision 

I am a stop along your way 

I am the words you'll never say 

I crossed the great beyond of fear 

I opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view 

You went there too

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Fly away little bird 

Find the song in you that no one's heard 

Strenghthen your wings as you sing your solo flight 

Through this short life 

Everyone's got a deep regret 

We try to ground ourselves to forget 

But your race to the end is neck and neck 

You love them, you love them not 

The birds of prey who wreck your nest, 

Twice your size steal your best 

They set you on this course of your collision 

I am a stop along your way 

I am the words you'll never say 

I crossed the great beyond of fear 

Opened my eyes and saw us there, what a view 

And you went there too 

Photos 

But all along your chosen path are 

Window panes and sheets of glass 

That you won't see 

You fly too fast 

One day it will be over 

Fly away little bird 

The saddest song I ever heard 

Was the one that I wrote you in my heart 

That never made it to the world
