As I Take Flight Lyrics - Singles - Michael Mcfarland

I wake up in an empty room 

2:15 in the afternoon 

tangled sheets are my cocoon, but Im no butterfly 

maybe Im a gypsy moth 

a wandering soul in somber cloth 

if I had wings would I fly off or just stare at the sky 

welcome the day you turned and walked away 

welcome all the memories in and welcome their decay 

welcome the night, the sun recedes from sight 

welcome stars to light my way as I take flight 

I was drawn into your glow 

a caterpillar in the snow 

and so naive how could I know the spiders lullaby 

silken threads can comfort weave 

in gossamer security 

or spin a web to tight to leave, a cage too strong to fly 

was I deceived when I believed 

chip on your shoulder heart on my sleeve 

I couldnt breathe, I couldnt breathe 

when it was over wouldnt you leave
