To Live is to Fly - Townes Van Zandt

Won't say I love you babe

Won't say I need you babe

I'm gonna get you babe

And I will not do you wrong

Living's mostly wasting time

I 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 nothing is to much to bear

Where you been is good and gone

All you keep is the getting there

Where 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 picking 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 may 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 dive into the sea

Some toil upon the stone

Where to live is to fly

All 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
