Fly Away Lyrics


I’ve been sitting in this prison
Counting corners on the wall
Thinking how I wonder
If you think of me at all
Looking through old pictures
I have stored inside my mind
Of you and me together
Once upon a happy time

I wish that I could fly away
Back to your arms tonight
Wake up in the morning
With those arms around me tight
I’d love you like I should have
All the way from way back then
If I could only fly away
And make you mine again

My prison is this bar, oh
Every day from 6 to 2
As soon as I’m off work
Right when happy hour is through
I’m chained here by the freedom
That I keep pouring into me
Every time I come back down
And face your memory

I wish that I could fly away
Back to your arms tonight
Wake up in the morning
With those arms around me tight
I’d love you like I should have
All the way from way back then
If I could only fly away
And make you mine again
