Verse 1

G	D
Won’t say	I love you, babe

Won’t say I	need you, babe

	G	D
So	let’s don’t take too	long

Chorus

	G	D	G	A7
Well, you’re	soft as	glass and I’m a	gentle	man

	D	A7
We	got the sky to	talk about

	G	D
And the	world to lie	upon

(Guitar break)

Verse

Days up and down they come

Like rain on a conga drum

Forget most, remember some

Oh, but don’t turn none away

Verse

Everything is not enough

Nothing is too much to bear

Where you’ve been is good and gone

All you keep is the getting there

Chorus

Well, to live’s to fly awe low and high

So shake the dust off of your wings

And a sleap out of your eyes

Verse

It’s goodbye to all my friends

It’s time to leave again

Here’s to all the poetry

And the pickin’ down the line

Verse

I’ll miss the system here

The bottom’s low and the trebble’s clear

But it don’t pay to think too much

On things you leave behind

Chorus

Well, I may be gone, awe, I won’t be long

I’ll be bringing back the melody

And the rhythm that I find

Verse

We all got holes to fill

And them holes are all that’s real

Some fall on you like a storm

Sometimes you dig your own

Verse

The choice is yours to make

Time is yours to take

Some dive into the sea

Some toil upon the stone

Chorus

Well, to live’s to fly awe low and high

So shake the dust off of your wings

And the sleep out of your eye

Awe, shake the dust off of your wings

And the tears out of your eye
