All of her days have gone soft and cloudy
All of her dreams have gone dry
All of her nights have gone sad and shady
She¡¯s getting ready to fly

Fly away, fly away, fly away

Life in the city can make you crazy
For sounds of the sand and the sea
Life in a high-rise can make you hungry
For things that you can¡¯t even see

Fly away, fly away, fly away

In this whole world there¡¯s nobody as lonely as she
There¡¯s nowhere to go and there¡¯s nowhere that she¡¯d rather be

She¡¯s looking for lovers and children playing
She¡¯s looking for signs of the spring
She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing
She listens for any old thing

Fly away, fly away, fly away
