"If I Could Only Fly" lyrics
"If I Could Only Fly"
I almost felt you touching me just now
I wish I knew which way to turn and go
I feel so good, and then I feel so bad
I wonder what I ought to do
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you
But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun, another lonely night
The wind keeps blowing somewhere everyday
Tell me things get better, somewhere up the way
Just dismal thinking on a dismal day
Sad songs for us to bear
You know sometimes I write happy songs
But then sometimes little things went wrong
You know I wish they all could make you smile
Tomorrow maybe we can get away
I'm coming home soon and I wanna stay
I wish you could come with me when I go again
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you
But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun, one more lonely night
If I could only fly
If you could only fly
If we could only fly
There'd be no more lonely nights

Never seem to get far enough
Staying in between the lines

Ian Noe - "Off This Mountaintop" I've laid up here so long, I can't recall what for
Was it the wine-stained bed or the creakin' floor?
Either way I'm fed-up now and drunk and blue
I'm comin' off this mountaintop for you
I know this...
Levon Helm - "Poor Old Dirt Farmer" Oh the poor old dirt farmer,
He's lost lost all his corn
And now where's the money
To pay off his loan?
He lost all his corn
Cant pay off his loan

Well the poor old dirt...
Phosphorescent - "Reasons To Quit" Reasons to quit
The coke and booze don't do me like before
Hardly ever sober and my old friends don't come around much anymore
Reasons to quit
Below it's always lower than the high
Reasons to quit...
Tom Waits - "Day After Tomorrow" I got your letter today
And I miss you all so much here
I can't wait to see you all
And I'm counting the days here
I still believe that there's gold
At the end of the world
And I'll come home to...
