Lyrics
By townes van zandt
Won't say I love you, babe Won't say I need you, babe But I'm gonna get you babe And I will not do you wrong Living's mostly wasting time And I'll waste my share of mine But it never feels to good So let's don't take to long You're soft as glass And I'm a gentle man; We got the sky to talk about And the earth to lie upon
Days, up and down they come Like rain on a congadrum Forget most, remember some But don't turn none away Everything is not enough And nothin' is to much to bear Where you been is good and gone All you keep is 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
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 to much On things you leave behind I will be gone But it won't be long I will be a'bringin' back the melodies And rhythm that I find
We all got holes to fill Them holes are all that's real Some fall on you like a storm Sometimes you dig your own The choice is yours to make Time is yours to take; Some sail upon/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 And the sleep out of your eyes;
Shake the dust off of your wings And the tears out of your eyes
