Fly Away

"When will you be home?" she asks. As we watch the planes take off. We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead. She's watched me as I crawled and stumbled. As a child, she was my world. And now to let me go, I know she bleeds. And yet she says to me. You can fly so high. Keep your gaze upon the sky. I'll be prayin every step along the way. Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart. I love you too much to make you stay. Baby, fly away. Autumn leaves fell into spring time and silver painted hair. Daddy called one evening saying "We need you. Please come back". When I saw her lying in her bed. Fragile as a child. Pale just like an angel taking flight. I held her as I cried. You can fly so high. Keep your gaze upon the sky. I'll be prayin every step along the way. Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart. I love you too much to make you stay. Baby fly away. I love you too much to make you stay. Baby fly away.
